Advanced Canoeing

Few truly unique experiences compare with being on the open water in New York City. The rhythm of the waves, the sun on your face, and the exhilaration of slicing through the water, all add up to an experience you’ll never forget.

Our trained Urban Park Rangers will lead you on canoe adventures that range from the gentle waters of protected lakes, to the challenging open waters of rivers and bays. On an Urban Park Ranger canoe program, you can go from novice to expert in one just one summer! Advanced canoeing programs are for experienced canoers only.  This program requires registration, participants are chosen by lottery.  To enter your name in the lottery, visit nyc.gov/parks/rangers/register on July 13.
