About this Event
Join Compass Point, home of Dirty Girl Adventures, and Topeka United for a Kansas River Adventure!
Topeka United and Dirty Girl Adventures invite you to our 7th Annual Kaw River Float! Let’s keep mixin’ it up!! We love connecting people to each other and to nature. Join us for a mixer on the Kaw! It is our favorite place to spend time in nature, and we can't wait to share it with you.
We will paddle down the Delaware River to the confluence of the Delaware and the Kansas Rivers. We will spend some time on the sandbar and then paddle down the Kaw to get off the river at Lecompton Rising Sun River Access.
We will send a detailed email to all registrants 24 hours before the event. All details may change based on weather and river conditions.
