Inwood Canoe Club Open House
We are at the far west end of Dyckman Street (take the A train, the 1 train, or the Broadway buses to Dyckman, then walk west on Dyckman toward the Hudson River). At the marina gate, turn left onto the paved path. Our red boathouse is 200 yards down the path on the right. Here we are on Google Maps.

All guests must be able to swim.
Must be a minimum of 8 years old. Guests under 18 must bring a parent or guardian. Whether a minor will be allowed to paddle with us depends on conditions that day and on the discretion of the club member running the Open House.
We supply boat, paddle and PFD (personal flotation device, aka life vest). No prior paddling experience required.
Wear shoes and clothes that can get wet.
Don't bring many valuables; you will need to leave them at the boathouse or supply your own waterproof bag for them. ICC is not liable for the loss of any valuables left in the boathouse, in a boat or on the surrounding property.
No pets at Open House.
Since Open House began in 2002, the club has offered the only walk-up kayaking program in Northern Manhattan. We generally serve over 1,000 guests every summer.
