Wolfe Pond Bay is far from the ferry, but it is an interesting bus ride (bus S78 from the ferry) -…read moreonce you get past the shopping malls and those stretch all the way to Great Kills. You will think that you're in the country, but it is still New York. Ask the bus driver to drop you at the corner of Hyland and Cornelia. You can either walk down Cornelia Avenue or go 100 m in the direction of Tottenville and then take the path through the woods. Wolfe Pond Bay is a mixture of things: it is a wood, a sweet water lake next to the shore, a beautiful shore with the best quality water for swimming in New York, perfect views of Raritan Bay - but also a large car park and a park where the Russian communities come to barbecue. Go for the pebbled beach (very nice small pebbles). After swimming, walk down south along the beach until you come to Lemon Creek, a sleepy village on the shore. On your way, you may meet lots of seabirds like egrets or herons and the ugly horsecrabs. Yes, this is New York. Turn back right and follow to Hylan again.

The location was at the central node and ideally situated convenient to all the major attractions nearby (Bryant Park, Grand Central, Time Square & Central Park). My wife and I have traveled to many places around the world but nothing tops the experience of choosing Lauren Berger Collections. Our trip was far beyond a stale environment as you get while you're staying at commercial places . Lauren Berger is the up most hospitable, attentive and passionate person at what she does. She puts you first before anything, no matter what you need, she's got it covered. My favorite part of our stay was getting to meet Lauren, it was a true honor. Lauren has managed to connect with us on a personal level and make our stay feel better than home. If it's not LAUREN, it must be boring.

And I stumbled upon Urban Paddle and booked it for a 9am adventure. We lucked out that every variable and condition was ideal: weather, tide, calm water, almost no other boat-related traffic. We're a party of 7. The 'Urban Crew' numbered at 5. We were spoiled from start to finish with a group of really cool and helpful workers that were informative, fun, professional and made sure we were always safe and engaged the entire hour. (Make sure to watch their 6-minute YouTube video ahead of time so you know all about the proper paddling/rowing techniques when it comes time to hit the water.) The 'Urban Crew' were also invaluable because the owner was constantly taking pictures and videos and at the end airdropped them to us which was a nice 'cherry on top' since you can't really snap pictures for big chunks of the time when you're on the water. Is it expensive for an hour? No doubt. Did everyone absolutely love kayaking and getting to see everything from the Colgate clock to the back of the Statue of Liberty's head to the NYC skyline, not to mention all of the stunning yachts all docked and looking completely out of my price-range? Of course. Was it the funniest thing to see my mother-in-law somehow leaning back in her kayak like she was on a hammock while the father-in-law did all the hard work? Yup. (Did a cranky security guard try her best to be a stick in the mud regarding confusion over some parking-related issues when we were about to leave? Oh yeah.) I'd suggest clothing/footwear that you don't mind getting wet as well as sunglasses and sunblock (that sun is no joke bouncing off the water). Highly recommended. (The Mrs. is already plotting when to go back and I think she's even pricing kayaks to buy with that stimulus check that's burning a hole in her wallet.)

Only bummed I never received the photos taken from that night. The entire trip takes a little over an hour. Parking is a little confusing but you have to find the parking authority and tell them you are there to kayak and pay $5 for a pass to put on your car. Overall great experience. I strongly advise not to put your hand into the water (who really knows what is in the Hudson River)
