More than 12 million immigrants came to the shores of this small island!

We paddle south from the Pier 84 Boathouse to the confluence of the Hudson River and the Upper Bay. We turn before the Statue of Liberty and circle around Ellis Island. After snapping photos and on-water snacking, we head back on the flood. This trip has no landing stops for meals or bathrooms. We’ll cover 11 miles round trip.
