During the past season, over 1,000 individuals participated in our programs and we logged over 2,000 trips on the Gowanus Canal. As people experience and enjoy the waterfront through our programs, they become advocates for its revitalization.

These efforts are proving to be fruitful. Due to the rise in popularity of canoeingt and kayaking on the Gowanus Canal, the City of New York has commenced construction an upgrade to the flushing pump that will improve the water quality of the Gowanus and the EPA has elected to designate the Gowanus Canal a superfund site, promising a cleaned waterway by 2023.

All of our activities are free and our calendar will be updated as more events are scheduled. Our facilities are available to the general public to launch canoes, kayaks and rowboats.
