Many have canoed in this polluted waterway. We have even seen a very daring swimmer attempt to swim the entire length of this EPA Superfund, but someone on a paddle board may be a first.

Only in Gowanus, folks!

Riverkeeper has a video of the canal conditions, the toxicity. It is what you cannot see that is the most dangerous. People beware.

We hope to have plenty of recreational boaters on Gowanus next summer once 2nd St. launch reopens!
