About this event
The Downtown Boathouse opens specially for Labor Day, adding a Monday to its usual weekend schedule right at the tail of the season. Free kayaks, free life jackets, free volunteer coaching, and a holiday crowd that tends to arrive early. If you have been meaning to try the Hudson all summer, this is close to the last comfortable chance before autumn.
Why we picked it
A rare holiday-Monday opening near the end of the paddling season, and still completely free.
