If you can’t get away to Nyack for the weekend but still want to do something outdoorsy with your older child, you can go kayaking in the bustling and challenging rivers that surround Manhattan. You know; the same gray waterways you never imagined you’d go anywhere near on purpose. Despite most people’s aversion to the city’s rivers, kayaking around Manhattan can be a super fun, physically invigorating afternoon. The most basic instruction is available to those who’ve never been near a ‘yak, and challenging classes and clinics are available to those who’ve rolled a few. Regardless of you and your child’s skill level, you’re sure to be paddling into good times.
