Things to do / Travel Guide
You can rent rowboats, paddleboats, or even gondolas for a pleasant excursion in four of the five boroughs in NYC. Prices hover around $10 per hour, with a deposit required in some of the places.
- Manhattan - at the Loeb Boathouse, on the northeastern tip of Central Park Lake
- Brooklyn - at Prospect Park
- Queens - at Flushing Meadows Lake Boathouse
- Staten Island - at Clove Lakes Park
You can kayak on the Hudson River, where the view is scenic. In many places, this river offers strong currents, wind, waves, and a very busy waterway with many ships. It is therefore recommended that the beginning kayaker contact one of the companies that provide instruction services for lessons and guidance as to where to kayak and when. Free kayak lessons are offered at the Downtown Boathouse.
