Roosevelt Island resident Ana shares this photo of a young bicyclist watching kayakers paddling the East River passing Roosevelt Island's Lighthouse Park.
If you are interested in kayaking, check out the nearby Long Island City Boathouse.
The mission of the all-volunteer Long Island Community Boathouse is to provide western Queens residents, employees, and visitors with educational and recreational paddling programs. Our programs raise awareness about estuary ecology with the goal of restoring the natural beauty and health of New York Harbor for today’s and future generations.More on Kayaking from previous posts.
We will achieve our mission through three primary programs:
- Our “Weekday Paddles” provide beautiful views of Roosevelt Island, Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn. Paddlers will also be able to experience one of the most sensational sunsets in New York!
- “Weekend Paddles” open new visions of the harbor to paddlers!
- Free Hallets cove paddles. We host Sunday “walk-up” kayak rides in the protection of Hallets Cove, at the northern end of Socrates Sculpture Park. Children are welcome if accompanied by a parent.
