About the event

Join us for a guided paddle around our pond in one of our canoes. We will start with a quick lesson on basic canoeing and paddling, then we will paddle together up a creek. The last 45-60 minutes will be free-paddling on the pond. If you have a valid fishing license and your own equipment, you can use this time to fish in our pond. Canoes, paddles, and life jackets are provided (no outside boats are permitted). This program is dependent on suitable weather conditions and water levels. For ages 10 and up (with an accompanying adult); FREE. Each canoe can hold a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 4 people (800-pound total weight limit). Registration is PER BOAT. If you only need 1 boat, please register just 1 member of your group. Please call if you have questions.
