[WATCH] Exploring the Heavily Polluted Gowanus Canal

Join me as I paddle the entire length of the infamous Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, NY. The canal is known to be one of the most polluted waterways in the United States, but finally the EPA has started its cleanup efforts. The canal was bustling with activity and there was so much to see. I also took a detour to check out the old Red Hook Grain Terminal and paddled alongside a huge vessel which looked to be out of commission. It was great to be back on the Gowanus Canal and I hope you enjoyed this adventure as much as I did!
