The island that the Statue of Liberty stands on - Bedloe's Island - is in New Jersey, but actually belongs to New York, mostly. The artificial (landfill) parts of the island and all the waters around it belong to New Jersey, while the statue itself and the center of the island belong to New York. This is clear proof that some judges are idiots. Rather than fight over this stupidity, the two states share jurisdiction. Many years ago New York was also given ownership of Staten Island, a lucky break for New Jersey.

Parking and launch access are free. There can be a good deal of boat traffic on the river, especially ferries, but if you are careful, you can paddle around the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The museum in the old railroad/ferry terminal is another point of interest.

First Trip

So you just impulse-bought a new kayak at Walmart. Now what?

Don't take it someplace hairy for your first trip. Pick a place that is easy - shallow enough to stand up, no tides, no wind, no waves, no motorboats, no currents, no cold. Find some nice inland lake, I have quite a few of them listed. Learn how to get in and out of the boat, how to paddle, etc. Get a feel for things before you head out into the big water.

Also, figure out how to secure the boat for transport. The pool noodles and twine that you used to take the boat home from the store on the roof of the car are not suitable for the highway. Get whatever racks and tie-downs you need and figure out how to set them up properly. I always use a minimum of two completely independent tie-downs, even for the most local of trips. On the highway, double that.
