According to the Hudson River Park Website:

"Pier 66 offers opportunities for a broad range of boating activities. It's also a great place for sitting and watching the river flow by.

Boathouse and Boat Slips
The Pier 66 boathouse is geared toward non-motorized boating. NY River Sports offers kayak trips and lessons, kayak polo and outrigger programs. During operational hours, the public may also launch small hand powered boats from the dock.

New for 2008 is a sailing program that will provide both lessons and short-term docking opportunities. Owners of small boats will be able to dock at Pier 66 for short stays if space is available at one of several slips reserved for this purpose. Contact NY River Sports for more information.

Art in the Park
Long Time, by artist Paul Ramirez Jonas, is a working water wheel that captures the beauty of the majestic Hudson River while harkening back to its shipping and milling history. Carefully placed at the western end of the pier, the sculpture turns with the tide as the river ebbs and flows. The wheel is constructed of stainless steel and has a diameter of 26 feet.

Pier 66 Lab
Hudson River Park Trust operates the Pier 66 Lab in the boathouse for its education and related purposes. Contact the Environment and Education Department at education@hrpt.state.ny.us.

Viewing scopes
Viewing scopes at the end of the pier offer views of passing watercraft and the New Jersey shoreline."
