About this event
The after-work slot, and the better one. Just under two hours of paddling in the Pier 26 embayment as the sun drops behind New Jersey and the river turns the colour of the skyline. Boats, buoyancy aids and volunteer guidance are all provided free of charge. The weeknight season closes on 27 August, so the window is short.
Why we picked it
Golden-hour kayaking on the Hudson at no cost, with a hard seasonal deadline of 27 August.
Free entry
Volunteer-run public programme offered at no cost; a waiver is signed on arrival each visit.
