Red Hook: Advanced Volunteer Trip - 11.5 miles total

This is a workout and resistance practice for intermediate + level paddlers. We will head south against a building flood up to 1.7 kts. We might experience some wind as well. How far we go will depends on actual conditions and how hard we pushed; it will be a great workout regardless and be ready to paddle hard! Space is limited and priority will be given to those who haven’t already attended or signed up for a practice in the week and our guides.

Be on time at 5:40 pm. Be able to get ready without assistance In 15 minutes and self launch and land. We will be on the water by 6:15 pm, turn around by 7:25 pm, off the water by 8 pm. Sunset will be at around 7:50 pm.

Intermediate level paddle in adverse current

Join Riverkeeper, Ke Aloha Outrigger, and Hoboken Cove Community Boathouse for a cleanup of Hoboken's Maxwell Beach for the Annual Riverkeeper Sweep, a day of service for the Hudson River and its tributaries.

Volunteers will meet in front of the boathouse facing Maxwell Beach. We ask all Sweep volunteers to wear sturdy shoes or boots, clothing that they can get dirty, and bring a hat, sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and snacks. Work or garden gloves are also very helpful. This site is suitable for elementary-aged children with proper adult supervision.

Riverkeeper Sweep Beach Cleanup

Hi everyone!

We’re excited to announce that our annual boathouse party will be on **Saturday, May 2 at 5:30pm** at bwé kafé (uptown location in Hoboken). All active volunteers from the 2025 season are invited!

We’ll have catered food, so please mention in the RSVP questionnaire if you have any dietary restrictions!

This will be a BYOB event - just a reminder that anything you bring in, you’ll need to bring out.

We’re really looking forward to celebrating together, sharing some updates about the upcoming season, recapping this past year (including a financial overview), and just spending time with this amazing community. Can’t wait to see you all there! 🎉
