About this Event
It's time to get on the Kansas River for a lovely afternoon of meandering and exploring. We will paddle the Mighty Kaw from Wamego to Belvue. This lovely section of the Kansas River will include sandbar exploration and fabulous views from the Kaw. You can expect to see some wildlife, maybe even bald eagles. Time on the Kaw is also a wonderful time to make connections with friends, both old and new. Please note that we reserve the right to CHANGE THE LOCATION of this event depending on the weather and river conditions.
