About this Event
Join us for an exciting journey down the White River! We’ll float through a portion of northeast Indianapolis as we explore a popular spot from a new angle and consider the ways we can continue working to preserve and connect to this beautiful area.
Our float will be co-led by a humanities scholar and a naturalist from Friends of the White River. Along the way, we will stop to read short writings by nature writers. Our float will conclude with a shared meal and discussion around a campfire.
Your ticket price includes a campfire meal, Upland Brewing Co. beers and snacks for the trail, in addition to any entrance or rental fees associated with the journey.
