Workout on the Water: Paddle to Gansevoort Peninsula & Little Island
Launching from the Pier 84 Boathouse in Hudson River Park, this kayak and SUP trip takes you past Chelsea Piers and into the heart of the West Village waterfront. You’ll paddle underneath Little Island—a stunning floating park most people only see from land. Then continue to Gansevoort Peninsula, home to Manhattan’s only sandy beach. Lounge in the sun, stroll the park, or walk over to Market 57 for snacks before paddling back. We cover about four miles round trip—perfect to fulfill the crave for an outdoor adventure and workout.
