UPDATE (8.12):

Many thanks to everyone that came out to paddle and assist with the first open canoe trips for the club. They were largely succesful, blessed with calm weather and received great review (greenpoint gazette, greenpointers, grantheppes.com). See more photos from the trips to Bushwick Inlet and down Newtown Creek and stay posted for forthcoming open trips!

August 11th (Saturday) – Canoe trip into Newtown Creek
A trip through the infamous Newtown Creek. A longer paddle for people that are comfortable in boats and risk of exposure to foul air and water. An absolutely unique geography and history to explore.
