About the event

Join us as we walk the trails of RTP while listening to audiobooks! After, feel free to join us at Drift Coffee Shop & Kitchen RTP for an optional discussion about the book and a chance to meet new people.

This month’s suggested audiobook is Gay the Pray Away by Natalie Naudus (available on Hoopla). If you have already read it, or would prefer another title, we suggest: Queer as Folklore by Sacha Coward (available on Hoopla) or My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna Van Veen (available on Hoopla).

This event is for book lovers, the book-curious, people who haven’t been able to make time to read (or listen) for fun, introverts, extroverts, exercisers, caregivers pushing strollers, (leashed) dog owners, groups, singles, nature lovers, and multi-taskers!

All paces welcome, please take breaks when you need them. We know it is easy to get transported to another world when listening to your book. Be sure to stay alert as we will be crossing roads and may encounter uneven pavement.

While attendance is free, please register here to receive reminders and stay in the know for any updates. Free public parking is located on the deck just across the street at 3150 Elion Drive. We will meet at 3151 Elion Drive Durham, NC 27713.

Pride Paddle at Little River

The history of Little River is deeply connected to the broader story of the LGBTQ+ rights movement in Durham. While Little River is a wonderful place to paddle and enjoy nature, it is also a site of profound tragedy. DPR Outdoor Recreation & Historic Programs staff wants to honor both its beauty and its significance in this important history. Come on a two-mile pride paddle with us. We will provide the equipment; you bring weather-appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes. Registration is required for all. Ages: 7 yrs +,
