Hands-on nature discovery
"Lots to see, more than I ever realized!"
"Wild oysters & Ribbed Mussels, baitfish & things eating them. Cormorants, gulls & bigger fish!"
Close-toed shoes recommended
Paddle a canoe through one of Brooklyn's most unlikely waterways, where herons fish beside old factories and an audio tour unspools the canal's gritty, complicated history. No experience needed: just grab a paddle, a life jacket, and a sense of adventure.
