To accommodate as many people as possible, we are booking spots for paddle spots and spots to sit in the middle of the canoe. Participants will take turns paddling as needed for everyone who wants to paddle to get a turn. Friends’ trusty canoe guides will help everyone safely load in and out of the canoes, answer questions about the river along the way and act as safety monitors on the water. We provide all equipment, paddling instruction, and safety talk. Trips start and end from the same location, rain or shine! Please cancel if you cannot make the trip to allow others to participate. Please dress for the weather, hats and closed toed shoes encouraged. Please bring your own water. Personal items like sunscreen, sunglasses, cameras, etc, are welcome, a watertight bag is encouraged.
