Self-Guided Canoe Trips

At Gowanus Dredgers Bunker

Sunset Park

"Lots to see, more than I ever realized!"
Three-seat canoes, great for families
Watch for cormorants, gulls & wild oysters

Paddle a free canoe through Brooklyn's most unlikely waterway, where industrial history meets herons, oysters, and baitfish beneath the surface. The Gowanus Dredgers run welcoming walk-up paddles for all ages from their community-built dock.

They recommend it:
