Enjoy a relaxing paddle on the peaceful waters of Pfister's Pond!
Reserve a 25-minute paddling session for your group and experience Tenafly Nature Center from a whole new perspective. As you explore the pond, keep an eye out for turtles, frogs, dragonflies, fish, and other wildlife that call the pond home.
Each reservation includes one boat for up to four (2 adults and 2 children), along with paddles and life jackets. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and all participants are required to wear a provided life jacket while on the water. Please arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled session to allow time for check-in and a brief safety orientation.
Whether you're looking for a fun family outing or a unique way to spend a summer afternoon, Paddling Pfister's Pond is a great opportunity to connect with nature.
Advance registration is required, and the event will be held weather permitting.
Arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled start time. Late arrivals may not be admitted, and timed-entry programs cannot accommodate late participants.
