Intermediate Kayak - Five to Ten Bridges of the Newtown Creek

 This is a wait-list managed trip.  Please join the wait-list and we will confirm if you have a place several days prior to the trip.

Let's explore the Newtown Creek. We will paddle to the turning basin and on towards the Grand St and Metropolitan Ave Bridges.  If the conditions are favorable we will explore some of the bridges on the Newtown Creek tributaries.

We should return in time to catch sunset at the mouth of the creek.
