Album: Amazing Excursion to MIll Rock Island
We had intended to meet a community organizer friend in Queens at Socrates Scultprure Park on a grand Autumn day, but the current of the East River thwarted us, but we were thereby encourgaed to land at a small island just North of Gracie mansion... MILL ROCK ISLAND, 2.5 acres http://www.nycgovparks.org/sub_your_park/historical_signs/hs_historical_sign.php?id=9756 Mill Rock Island, originally two smaller islands, lies about 1,000 feet off the eastern edge of 96th Street, in the East River. In 1664, William Hallet stole the two islands, later named Great Mill Rock and Little Mill Rock, as well as a nearby point of land on the other side of the river (known as Hallet’s Point in present-day Astoria, Queens) from local Indians.

What an amazing day we had 5-27 cleaning up the shores, paddling, sharing food and water and witnessing unfettered Nature with numerous stakeholders. The day began with a park and shore clean up on the Harlem River South Bronx access point with a group of teens, teachers and parents with Building with Books. With a special interview by News 12 that was following our bike tour with Time's Up. Paddlers braved the currents and joined us from the great beach adjacent to Socrates Sculpture Park from the Long Island City Community Boathouse to the South, and from the Inwood Canoe Club to the North. We then paddled up the Harlem River, really a both way estuary, to check out the incredible eco center maintained by Urban Divers. A special surprise allowed our crew of numerous boats to link up with the graduating Interns of Urban Divers to get in the same 30' canoe and head top the Hudson! Besides fish and numerous birds including a hawk, we saw at the very northern tip of the isle of Manahattoe a young... Deer!!!! We paddled back to our canoes and kayaks and went our north and south united ways. LIC Boathouse and Inwood Canoe Club host regular open house days and this is but a start to unite stakeholders along our common waterway. Get Involved!!!! All organizations and individuals are welcomed to open there gates and launch their vessels with us to expand the no wake zone, advocate for greater protections, further access and more resources for us all!
