Spend an evening paddling down the Chippewa River with a naturalist as you look for turtles, fish, herons, hawks and eagles. After meeting at the Visitor Center, we'll travel to the Universal Access Site via CNC van and begin a leisurely paddle down river back to the Nature Center. CNC will provide a kayak, paddle and life jacket for each participant. 

If weather or water conditions are unfavorable, the trip will be cancelled at the discretion of CNC staff and participants will receive a refund.

Please note: If your preferred kayak style is waitlisted (tandem, sit-ON, sit-IN), consider selecting a different boat style as there may be spaces in the event still available.
