Flushing Creek Walking Tour

Join Guardians of Flushing Bay’s Cody Ann Herrmann and Rebecca Pryor for a walking tour of Flushing Creek. The walk takes place in “the valley of ashes,” as referenced in the novel “The Great Gatsby,” and will trace City owned property under the Van Wyck Expressway. We will discuss water quality, local history, and plans for new development in Willets Point and downtown Flushing. Participants can join us before the walk anytime between 11am and 3pm at Pier 1 for the Empire Dragon Boat Team’s “Jennifer’s Annual Flushing Bay Shoreline Clean Up”, where there will be an opportunity to help clean up the waterfront and take a ride in a dragon boat!
