    Tip: The Downtown Boathouse offers free kayaking and classes (click here)
    Details:Free Walk-Up Kayaking

    Between May 17 and October 19, the group
    offers its free walk-up kayaking program.
    It’s simple: walk up to any of the group’s
    three boathouses, sign a liability waiver, put
    on a life jacket, and grab a kayak and
    paddle.

    You’re restricted to paddling inside the
    protected waters surrounding the
    boathouse (so lay aside your plans to head
    for Lady Liberty). The staff keeps a watchful
    eye on the kayakers.

    Rules: Anyone who can swim is permitted to
    kayak. Children between 16-18 years may
    take a kayak out on their own, if a parent or
    guardian is present at the boathouse.
    Children younger than 16 may go out, but
    must be accompanied by an adult in a
    double-kayak.

Welcome to the New York City Downtown Boathouse

Welcome to the Downtown Boathouse. The Boathouse
is an all-volunteer organization that is dedicated
to providing access to the Hudson River for
everyone. The Boathouse is located in the Hudson
River Park, and has a permit from the Hudson River
Park Trust to operate in the park.

All activities at the boathouse are completely
free and are available to anyone from the general
public. We provide all the equipment and the know-
how. All we ask is that you know how to swim, wear
a life jacket, abide by our rules, and sign our
liability waiver.

Due to insurance regulations, children under the
age of 16 must always be accompanied by an adult
(in the same boat). This means that young children
must go in a double kayak with one or two adults.
Children between the ages of 16 and 18 may go out
in a single kayak, as long as their guardian comes
with them to the Boathouse and signs the waiver
form for them. The guardian must also be present
for the whole period that the child is on the
water.

We currently have three locations on the Hudson
River: Pier 40 at Houston Street ,Pier 96 at 56th
Street, 72nd Street in Riverside Park:

• Pier 40 at the western end of Houston Street on
the river side of the West Side Highway. Hours
from 9:00AM to 6:00PM Weekends and Holidays

• Pier 96, Clinton Cove at 56th Street and the
Hudson River. Hours from 9:00AM to 6:00PM Weekends
and Holidays. Open weekday evenings (June 16 to
August 29) from 5PM to 7PM. Wednesday evening
classes from 6:00PM to 8:00PM.

• Riverside Park Promenade. Take the 72nd Street
stairs into the park and head to the river. Hours
from 10:00AM to 5:00PM Weekends and Holidays
