Free Public Paddling! Viaje en kayaks y canoes gratis!

No experience needed!  ¡No se necesita experiencia!

Public Paddles are the heart of North Brooklyn Community Boathouse, a chance to show the community that the waters belong to all of us and to help our friends and neighbors find the same joy in paddling that we all know.

Trips are 30 minutes long. led by trained Trip Leaders and are either in big canoes (up to 12 paddlers!) or sit-on-top kayaks which seat 1 or 2 people.  For kayaks, there is a minimum height requirement of 4’10” in order to ensure the kayak will remain balanced. There is no size requirement for canoes. 

Only unvaccinated adults must wear masks (both in the boatyard and on water).

¡La temporada 2021 arranca con un Pádel Público! Los Public Paddles son el corazón del North Brooklyn Community Boathouse, una oportunidad para mostrarle a la comunidad que las aguas nos pertenecen a todos y ayudar a nuestros amigos y vecinos a encontrar la misma alegría en el remo que todos conocemos.

Los viajes duran 30 minutos y utilizarán kayaks con capacidad para uno o dos personas. Hay un requisito de altura mínima de 4’10 ” para garantizar que el kayak se mantenga equilibrado.  Sin minimos de talla para las canoes.  

Las mascaras son necesarias si no esta vacunado.
