Description:

Approximate time/s.
Meet on the Harlem River.
End on the Harlem River.
This lovely paddle offers a unique opportunity to launch in a canoe on

our

local waterways and experience the coastline of the South Bronx,

Manhattan

and Randall's Island. See the spots where those locals in the know cast

their lines from the banks of the Harlem River to catch striped bass and

more. We will check out the Bronx

Kill, the connecting strait between the Harlem and East Rivers.   The

Police

Marina and Icahn Stadium will be

visible from our sturdy and safe vessels, as will the little known

Little

Hell's Gate Inlet, a wildlife bonanza in the heart of the city.

Proceeding

south we will view the Ward's Island Psychiatric facility, as well as

the

newly opened Bike and Pedestrian Greenway, which should eventually

circle

the entire Island, along the shore, without fences or imposing

structures.

Finally, we will land on shore, and

enjoy a light snack of food we bring to share with spectacular views of

Manhattan, and perhaps storia and Long Island City before we paddle

back.
