Calling all canoers!

See the Bronx from a whole new view, thanks the Urban Park Ranger canoe program. On Sept. 3, you and your family can explore Van Cortlandt Park’s lake with a lesson in basic canoeing.

The Ranger-led program will provide canoes, life jackets and instructions to children 8 and older accompanied by parent or guardian who want to get out on the water.

Best of all — it’s free! But get there early — getting on the water is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Basic Canoeing at Van Cortlandt Park [enter at West 246th Street and Broadway, (718) 548-0912], Sept. 3 at noon. Free. For info, visit www.nyc.gov/parks/rangers.
