According
to their website: "The Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club is a volunteer organization
that is dedicated to providing waterfront access and education to the
public. We are located on the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, New York and
run programs on the shorelines of Gowanus, Red Hook and DUMBO. During
the past season, over 1,000 individuals participated in our programs
and we logged over 2,000 trips on the Gowanus Canal. As people experience
and enjoy the waterfront through our programs, they become advocates
for its revitalization. These efforts are proving to be fruitful. Recent
legislation has provided funding primarily due to the rise in popularity
of paddling on the Gowanus Canal. All of our activities are free and
our calendar will be updated as more events are scheduled. Our facilities
are available to the general public to launch canoes, kayaks and rowboats."
