Welcome

Hiawatha Island Boat Club brings back a rich tradition of rowing to the New York's Tioga and Broome counties. The 5000 sq. ft. boathouse,  dock system, and surrounding acreage constitute the Les Wagner Rowing Center. The club houses a full inventory of sweep and sculling equipment and offers boat storage for member's private boats.

The Susquehanna River provides over 3 miles of calm, scenic water ideally suited for rowing. The objective of the not-for-profit club is to promote the sport of rowing in the Southern Tier. 

Membership consists of rowers of all ages and levels of ability. Individual goals range from staying fit to competing in local, national or international regattas. HIBC hosts the Binghamton University Crew Club.
