NYCkayaker Newtown creek nature walk, by water

[rob buchanan]

On Friday, ten of us in two gigs rowed from East 96th Street to the
recently-opened Newtown Creek Nature Walk in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Among
other things, the walk provides the first public access to Newtown Creek.
That makes it an excellent destination if you're in a small boat, though of
course there's a lot of commercial activity (ie, barge traffic) so due
caution needs to be exercised...
