Urban Kayaking | Exploring Nature Among Planes, Trains, and Industry in Queens, NY

Join me on a kayaking adventure on Flushing Creek in Queens, New York, as I encounter airplanes, trains, wildlife, and unexpected nature from a unique perspective. This interesting waterway divides Queens into eastern and western halves. The creek has many industrial sites along its shores and empties into Flushing Bay, where LaGuardia Airport is located. As part of my journey, I also take a short drive to Flushing Meadows Corona Park, where I paddle Meadow Lake and explore another section of Flushing Creek. These two sections are only connected by 2,000 feet of underground tunnels. Even though this creek has been polluted over the years, this was an incredible experience and it's always fun to go to a new spot and take you along for the ride.

Fun Fact: Flushing Meadows Corona Park was the location of the 1964 New York World's Fair and features the famous "Unisphere" which is a stainless steel model of Earth.

If you have any ideas of where you'd like to see me go next, let me know in the comments!
