Explore the Bronx River with free community rowing, sailing, and birding excursions.

Free Community Rowing gives New Yorkers of all ages the chance to get out on the water aboard student-built wooden row boats accompanied by Rocking the Boat staff. Learn to row and experience the beauty of New York City's only freshwater river.

Community Sailing offers anyone the unique opportunity to sail on the Bronx River! On select Saturdays throughout the summer, people of all ages are invited to board Rocking the Boat’s fleet of catamarans. No experience required. Please note: sailing will not take place on the following dates: 6/14, 6/21, 8/9, and 8/23.

Community Birding brings birdwatching to the shores of the Bronx River. Participants identify and learn about local species with the guidance of knowledgeable staff. Binoculars, spotting scopes, and field guides will be provided.

All ages and abilities are welcome. No reservations are required. All participants must sign a liability release waiver and waivers for children 17 and under must be co-signed by a parent or guardian.
