If you're looking for a few hours of tranquil paddling or a full-day expedition, you'll find it here. The NYC Water Trail connects 160 square miles of rivers, bays, creeks, inlets and ocean in the five boroughs suitable for kayaks, canoes, and open-water rowing craft. Novice and experience paddlers alike can enjoy skyline panoramas, riverside parks, bird sanctuaries, tidal marshlands, and boundless vistas of one of the world‘s premier harbors, all from a prime sea-level vantage. <p><table> <tr><td width="50%" align="left" valign="top"><img class="normal" src="img/wtrtrl09/largemap5.gif" alt="watertrail"></td> <td align="left" valign="top"><ul><li>Printable version just bellow:</li> <li><a href="img/km/watertrail.pdf">2009 Watertrail Map and Guide</a></li> </ul></td></tr></table> </p> <h2><a name="1mn">Top destinations for kayakers and paddlers.</a></h2> <table><tr> <td>Bronx: <ul><li>Pelham Bay Park</li><li>Hunts Point</li></ul></td> <td align="left" valign="top">Brooklyn: <ul><li>Valentino Park</li><li>Floyd Bennettt</li></ul></td> <td align="left" valign="top">Manhattan: <ul><li>Pier 96</li><li>Sherman Creek</li></ul></td></tr> <tr><td align="left" valign="top">Queens: <ul><li>Hallets Cove</li></ul></td><td align="left" valign="top">Staten Island: <ul><li>Midland Beach</li><li>Conference House</li></ul></td> <td align="left" valign="top">New Jersey <ul> <li>Edgewater</li> <li>Edgewater</li> <li>Edgewater</li> </ul></td> </tr></table><br><br> <h2><a name="2mn">Manhattan Circumnavigation Paddling Safety Guide</a></h2> Going Coastal with support from the National Safety Boating Council and help for NYC Parks & Recreation has created a Manhattan Circumnavigation Paddling Safety Guide that provides essential information for paddlers to approach New York City waters safely and responsibly. This includes a map of launch sites, landings, and stop-over points, basic paddling and water safety information; permits required, and boathouses, marinas, ferry, and port facilities. Major city landmarks and sights visible to paddlers are displayed. Paddlers can use the map graticules and GPS to discover them along the route. While the map is created to scale 1:92,000 and has a scale bar of 1NM, it is not to be used for navigation, but as an informational aid only <p><table><tr><td width="50%" align="left" valign="top"><a href="img/km/ksmap.pdf"><img class="normal" src="img/kayak_map.jpg" alt="get pdf version" width="240" height="200" align="right" hspace="5" border="0"></a></td> <td align="left" valign="top"><ul><li><a href="img/km/ksmap.pdf" alt="get pdf version">Watertrail map Manhattan Circumnavigation Paddling Safety Guide & Manhattan Kayak Map.</a></li> <li> <a href="img/km/kayakmap07.pdf"> Manhattan Kayak Map. <img src="img/km1.gif" width="58" height="83" align="middle" border="0"></a></li> </ul></td></tr></table></p> <br> <h2><a name="3mn">Kayak Launches landings in New New York City.</a></h2> <style14> Use the map below to do some pre–trip recognizance.
