About Us

Harlem River Community Rowing (HRCR) is a volunteer-run nonprofit organization committed to offering affordable rowing and expanding waterfront access options for all adult New Yorkers. Founded in 2006 by a small group of volunteers who believed that rowing in New York should be accessible and fun, HRCR offers quality, no-cost programs from Learn to Row classes to recreational and advanced rowing opportunities, to all adults 18 years of age and older in the New York metro area. We are committed to expanding diversity in the sport of rowing, in New York City and beyond.

HRCR currently operates out of the Muscota Marsh dock, located in upper Manhattan’s Inwood neighborhood and works in partnership with local organizations like NYC Parks, Waterfront Alliance, Row New York, High Bridge Coalition, Harlem River Working Group, and Manhattan Community Board 12.
