Independence Day Free Public Walkup Kayaking at Anable Basin with LIC Community Boathouse

Celebrate Independence Day with a short paddle on one of LIC Community Boathouse’s stable sit-on-top kayaks. No advance sign up required this weekend. Just show up, sign a waiver, put on a life jacket and grab a paddle. We provide the boats, gear and help you to launch into Anable Basin for your own 20-minute self-guided tour of this sheltered tributary of East River. It’s first come first served until capacity is reached so come early. Last check-in 30 minutes before closing. Our floating dock is now in place, but our ramp is not yet ready. We’ll access the dock via a ladder so no minors please until the ramp is installed. Dress for success under the strong sun keeping in mind that your feet and seat will likely be wet.
While there is no charge for this weekend’s events, we encourage, appreciate and depend upon your generous donations to keep us afloat.
Volunteering with us enables to offer more dates, more hours and to field more boats. If that’s for you, introduce yourself to any volunteer and we’ll get you started right away. Active helpful volunteers get priority seating on our cool river trips beyond the Basin! See you on the river this weekend.
