Tour our local waterways during these paddling adventures! Our
2025 kayaking series begins with a lake-based basic paddling skills
class, followed by shorter and less strenuous river sessions for beginners. As the summer progresses, choose increasingly longer and more technical paddles for intermediate skill levels. Each session, participants will receive dry-land instruction on basic kayaking techniques from an experienced instructor. Then we’ll take to the water for a naturalist-led exploration of the
fascinating local ecology. Participants meet and park at the take-out location and are shuttled to the put-in. Choose any number of sessions; you can take one, two, or all six! Boaters must be at least 16 years old and be able to hold breath under water while
wearing a properly fitted life jacket, independently turn from a face down to a face-up position keeping head above water, effectively communicate with the instructor and other participants, and manage all mobility and personal care independently or with the assistance of a companion.
Registration is required one week prior to the program.
