10. You can kayak at the North Brooklyn Community Boathouse
Though we wouldn’t recommend swimming in the East River, you can get out on the water in a kayak at the North Brooklyn Community Boathouse. The boathouse is a non-profit, volunteer-run community organization. Its mission is “to enable access to the waterways of NYC for its residents and thus promote human-powered boating and environmental restoration.”
In the past, the club has hosted events like an overnight circumnavigation of Manhattan, a solstice party, and film screenings. The aforementioned Broadway Stages offers part of their space to the boathouse.
