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 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. See the
shorelining wetlands threatened by inappropriate development and a proposed
fossil fuel power plant. 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 paddle under the 103rd Street Bridge to East Harlem and
learn about access challenges to inner-city residents. On shore, we will
enjoy a light vegetarian dinner with spectacular views of Manhattan,
Astoria and Long Island City before we paddle back in the immaculate sunset
and twilight.
If you cannot join us that day, but want to contribute, please make a
monetary gift.
Your contribution of $100 to $10,000 will go towards efforts to
protect Randall's Island for all New Yorkers.
Contributions are tax-deductible.
