Paddle Gallery: 2016

The photo galleries on this page come from members’ pictures from club paddles. NBBC members are invited to send any pictures from club trips to info@northbrooklynboatclub.org so that we can add them to the gallery. Please include the date of the paddle, the trip leader, and any other information you think might be helpful.

We’ve documented so many great trips that we have had to break up the Paddle Gallery. This page shows the 2016 trips. For full navigation, see the main Paddle Gallery page.
