About this event
The closing walk-up paddling session of the Gowanus Dredgers' 2026 season. Arrive at the 2nd Street boathouse any time in the afternoon, take out one of the club's canoes and explore the sheltered canal for as long as you like. Volunteers handle the launch and the safety briefing; you need nothing but clothes you don't mind splashing.
Why we picked it
The last free paddle of the year on the Gowanus, from the club that has run water access there for 25 years.
Free entry
The club's own calendar titles the session "FREE Walk-Up Paddling – 2nd St." (priced events on the same calendar carry explicit $5–$15 charges).
