While there are other places along the Hudson that you can paddle for free, Manhattan Kayak + SUP is probably my favorite free paddle spot. I've never seen it super crowded, the $7 kayak rental fee is more than worth it, the staff is delightfully friendly, and being able to paddle alongside the Intrepid while looking up at the midtown skyline is a trip. Kayak rentals are for 30 minutes at a time and the staff will call you in when your time is up. I've not yet gone on one of their guided excursions but am looking forward to doing so soon!
