Kayak Through History: Schenectady & Waterford

🛶 Kayak Through History paddling tours return to Schenectady and Waterford!

For centuries, local history has revolved around the Mohawk River. Our Schenectady kayak tour takes you from the modern Mohawk Harbor to the site of our city’s ancient port. In nearby Waterford, history lives at the meeting of New York’s two great waterways. Our Waterford tour takes you between picturesque islands and through the grand locks of the Erie Canal. Along both routes, our expert guide will regale you with the history of the area.

Guests will be provided with a kayak, life vest, and paddle. Guests should be prepared to paddle for about two hours. There are no bathrooms at either site. Due to safety restrictions, you may not bring your own kayak.

🌊 Tickets are $35 at schenectadyhistorical.org/event/kayak25
