If you love being on the water and love the outdoors, canoeing and kayaking might be a good way to spend a day. There are plenty of opportunities to rent a canoe or kayak to spend a day in the waters of Suffolk County.
One great opportunity is to spend time right off Montauk Point in the Atlantic Ocean exploring and following the finback whale. There are whale watching activities run and organized by the Okeanos Ocean Research group, a non-profit research group that runs whale watching tours. You can watch biologists do population studies of the whales and feed them as well.
Another way to spend the day is to paddle down the Peconic River in a 17 foot canoe. The entire trip is about eight miles. Part of the trip is very desolate with isolated trees along with less desolate areas. The canoes are built for two and must be picked up five times to cross slight dams. The Peconic Paddler located on Peconic Avenue in Riverhead runs a day trip that lasts for about four to five hours. They also rent canoes to individuals who spend the day by themselves without a specific trip also.
For a combination canoe and fishing trip, try renting a canoe down the Nissequogue River between Smithtown and Kings Park. You can also bring your own fishing gear for the excursion. As you can see, there are many options to kayak and canoe in Suffolk County. Whichever you choose, make sure you remain safe and have a great time.
