If you have seen kayaks on the Hudson & East River and wondered if you could get in on the action, the answer is a resounding YES! Whether you're a novice or a pro, kayaking is a great way to spend a summer day in New York City.

There are free and expert lessons offered at several locations, the only caveat being you need to know how to swim, and if under 18 years of age, a parent or legal guardian must be present. Life vests, lockers, locks, sunblock, and changing rooms are free. Experience the joy of kayaking on the Hudson!

Boathouses were built as part of Hudson River Park but are operated by expert Park Partners. Please visit each boathouse's website for the most up-to-date information on programs and hours.
