About this event
One of the last two weeknight paddles of the 2026 season. Volunteers rig the boats on the dock north of Pier 26 and send paddlers out in short rotations while the light goes gold over New Jersey. No experience required, no gear needed, nothing to pay beyond the time you spend waiting your turn.
