Paddlin’ to an Urban Daydream!!
New York is amazing because you can create whatever life you wish here. There are so many incredible secrets in this city and infinite surprise adventures to be had!
Yesterday we paddled around Jamaica Bay in Queens in a rickety little canoe! Our boating adventure culminated in a lovely sunset picnic in the wildlife refuge! The vista from our secluded picnic spot provided an amazing contrast of urban development, wildlife, nature and a mysterious archaeology of an abandoned ship graveyard.
As we paddled through the wildlife it was hard to believe that we were actually in Queens, New York City! What a fabulous urban adventure!!
how exactly did you get the canoe? i’m trying to figure out what to do this week (spring break) and this sounds like fun. 😀
We borrowed the canoe from a friend! I think you can probably rent a canoe from somewhere in the city but I’m not sure where! With bit of detective work, I’m sure you could probably find one! Good luck on finding a canoe adventure!
I know your break is probably over, but I found a place to canoe in NYC! Saw it in Time Out and thought of you! http://Www.newyorkoutrigger.org!
