  • Join me on a kayaking adventure through unique locations in Brooklyn, New York. I start my paddle at Floyd Bennett Field, explore Jamaica Bay and Dead Horse Bay. I also make stops at Glass Bottle Beach and Marine Park. Glass Bottle Beach and Dead Horse Bay are technically closed to the public for radiation surveys, but just had to stop to show you how interesting the area is. The adventure continues at Coney Island's Luna Park to ride the historic Cyclone rollercoaster and visit the original Nathan's Famous Hot Dog stand. There is so much natural beauty that you may not expect to find in Brooklyn!

      I will def consider it. I'm a lot more of an explorer and adventurer than a teacher / instructor.

Just wanted to throw that out there for now. Thank you for watching and commenting.

    This was really entertaining! I've driven on the Belt countless times and often wondered about paddling around there - Definitely putting it on my list! I just found your channel, so I haven't seen any other of your videos, but if you haven't paddled in the Pine Barrens, (Wharton State Forest in NJ) put it on your lsit! I'm assuming your local to the NY/NJ area.

    • @TwoFeetOutdoors
      @TwoFeetOutdoors  4 месяца назад +1

      It was really nice paddling out there! Thank you for watching! I appreciate the comment too. I will check out the Pine barrens for sure. Is there a lake or river there? Any camping opportunities there? Def check out my Bronx River video. It's really cool! My other videos are from camping / kayaking on Long Island.

    • @sundaymorninghikes6275
      @sundaymorninghikes6275 4 месяца назад +1

      @TwoFeetOutdoors Your other videos are on deck for today! The Bronx River has my attention as well!
      Wharton State Forest has six or seven campgrounds, three are hike-in, the others are drive-in and many of those sites can accommodate a trailer (no connections). There are MILES 4WD trails to enjoy as well.
      The Mullica River and Wading river are really fun! A local outfitter has canoe/kayak rentals, so they make sure the river is navigable (the rivers are narrow and it doesn't take much to block them).
      Check AllTrails - I'm pretty sure the boat launch locations are marked. I grew up in Nassau County and moved to NJ 25+ years ago. I am an avid hiker/camper/kayaker and I ignored the Pine Barrens for YEARS, thinking, meh... it's flat, just a bunch of pine trees... I could not have been more wrong. 100% recommended for kayaking! And hiking! And camping!
      That Oru you have is pretty wild! Your Uber drivers gotta be a little confused when they pick you up! Uber isn't as readily available in the pine barrens as it is on LI.

    I don't know if you have any interest but there is an area on the shore of Francis Lewis Park in Whitestone Queens it is on the North Shore right near the Whitestone Bridge and faces the Bronx maybe Ferry Point Park. It would be cool to see a Kayak trip there I am not saying you should go a across to the Bronx, but you could go East or West, or not too far West maybe, not to close to Atoria Park where the currents or rough, but maybe along the shore going East along the shoreline along Whitestone to FT. Totten and the Throgs Neck Bridge. I think it would be a cool video. Well just a thought. Great videos BTW

    • @TwoFeetOutdoors
      @TwoFeetOutdoors  Месяц назад +1

      @will-ye That's awesome! They make what's called an Oru Pack, which is a backpack for the Inlet. Makes it very easy to carry. You'll also need to carry a paddle, pfd, and whatever other supplies you want for your outing. It's 100% doable in the subway. I think that would be fun but it will be a little bit of work. As for Jamaica Bay, you need to be really cautious about the weather and wind speed and kayak on a low wind day (10 mph or less). You're also safer paddling along the shoreline as opposed to going way out into the open water. Definitely watch some kayaking safety videos. Any body of water has the potential for being dangerous when the weather conditions are bad. I own an Inlet and Oru Pack and love hiking that kayak to places to go kayaking. That's the best set-up for a subway senario. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching and commenting.

      Hello, hope you'll come back and give it a watch. That beach is the site of a landfill so it's basically impossible to clean up without walling it off from the bay. Deadhorse Bay and glass bottle beach is well known. I love nature and clean up trash all the time. In the video, I show more of the beach. I've visited there a couple of times previously to collect unique bottles. While I wish there wasn't a landfill there spilling into the bay, it doesn't upset me or make me angry. Just documenting it during a beautiful kayaking adventure in Brooklyn. It's part of NYC history. Hope you'll come back and give it a watch.

    I paddle on Jamaica Bay every weekend. Nice to see a different perspective. The Osprey you got on camera in Garretson was awesome. You should try putting in at Manhattan Beach and paddle across to Breezy Point There's a sandbar offshore that makes for some exciting moments and fun times.

    Glad this channel popped up on my feed. I'm a native NYer and it's nice to see home from a different perspective. Growing up, we pretty much stayed away from the bays and rivers due to certain activity that wasnt safe at the time (80's - 90's). We did often head to the beaches though and Coney Island was the summer classic. Now that I've taken up kayaking and seeing how much NY has evolved, it makes me want to come home (to visit only though 😂) and see it through a different lens. Great video and thanks for sharing.

    I live in the Rocky Mountain region, and you are making me want to come to New York to kayak!! At the very least, I hope that your work will inspire people to get out there and take part themselves. While you might not have the places all to yourself, it'll get more people to care and that could lead to more support for cleaner water and riparian habitat. And that's good for everyone! I know these videos take a lot of work, but I hope you'll keep it up because you do good honest work and clearly are just being yourself.

There are two sections on both sides but I’ve only done the shorter more populated side. Not the side near Gerritsen Beach. You forget your in Brooklyn. Also you can rent kayak boats in marine park for that creek as well I believe.
