  • Come with me as I paddle along Coney Island Creek in Brooklyn NYC, cook lunch with a view, and take in the sights and sounds of the natural beauty of the city. Coney Island Creek is home to amazing wildlife, many burnt out ships and barges, and even a yellow submarine named the Quester I! I had to stop and explore the sub up close and see what it was all about. The Quester I was made from salvaged metal by a shipyard worker in Brooklyn, but failed to launch during its first attempt and has been stuck ever since.

    Hey Matt!
    I have to give a huge shout-out to you!!
    Your Bronx River video woke something up inside of me and inspired me to get my own foldable kayak (I went with Tucktec) and get out there on my own. I watched a lot of different videos and did a lot of research to prepare myself. I've never kayaked before in my life nor did I ever have any interest until I saw your video.
    Basically I've been sitting home on my days off watching CZcams videos... cooking, van life, and recently I found your kayaking videos which led me to think to myself, why am I sitting here watching this when I could be living it instead???
    So.... Matt, thank you!
    I visited Coney Island Creek yesterday and it was beautiful and awesome! I had so much fun!
    I'm embarrassed to post my video because I don't have the skills yet and it didn't come out like your videos, not even close. But I'm learning.
    Thanks again and I hope you post more videos soon.
    Today I'm thinking about checking out a creek in Staten Island I saw on go paddle.com

    Many years ago, a friend and I went on a hike from the amusement area, through the neighborhood of Coney Island (so many fruit trees in people's yards) and into the area I knew as "Six Diamonds" behind the new Home Depot. WHen my son had played little league at the ballfield, I remembered wandering towards the creek and seeing so much trash thrown into the creek -- refrigerators, washing machines.But that day we were looking for weeds -- or plants -- and we found amazing plants growing in the border around the balllfields above the creek. There was someone living up there, in a sort of dugout, on the emabankmet, with a few fishing lines permanently laying in small trenches in the creek bank, so we skirted their space. A memorable day. So much to see in the city.

    That fence wasn't on the side of the subway bridge when I retired in 2015. I'm puzzled why it was put there. There are a bunch of old train radios in the water next to the bridges where the subway runs. I used to park in Coney Island Yard, and my day ended at Stillwell Avenue terminal. I used to walk the tracks across the creek and into the yard in the middle of the night. Certain times of the year there were things that looked like shrimp swimming near the surface in such great numbers that the water looked like it was boiling. I have seen nice sized blue fish in the creek as well, probably chasing baitfish. The creek used to smell awful down near where it ends, but some years ago they cleaned it out so it is not as bad. It was nice to watch your video. I left Brooklyn after living there for 60+ years. I miss salt water. I'm south of Niagara Falls now in a small town. The 'driver' of subway trains is called a motorman, or more recently a Train Operator. The Conductor is in the middle of the train, he opens and closes the train doors and makes announcements.

    Great video! I was raised within walking distance of the creek. A couple of suggestions; Some historical data would be interesting. Coney Island creek did at one point connect with Sheepshead bay thus making Coney Island an actual island. The creek was filled in along the route where the Belt parkway currently runs. Also, for those who reside outside the area, an overview of a map. or nautical chart that depicts your travel route would be helpful and interesting.

I laughed to myself, as you are continually seeing so much debris in the water., but at least no E-Bikes to pull out of the water this time. Keep up with the cool videos in spirit of exploration. As always, love the videos and narration.. Well done 👍

The water below is very polluted which I'm sure you have already known. It was fun to see the same view as I have seen for many years but thru a boat ride. I so enjoyed taking this little relaxing trip with you. I am happy you did not go underneath the second "grate" as I too felt it was a little low and did not want you to fall into the water, that would not have of been fun.
