An Evening Paddle on The Great MiamiChasing Sunsets and Finding Peace on the Water.
There is a specific kind of magic that happens on the Great Miami River as the day begins to fade. We are thrilled to bring back our highly anticipated Evening Paddle series for several dates this summer! This isn't just a kayak trip; it’s an invitation to unplug, breathe, and witness the river in its most beautiful light.
The Experience
As the sun begins to dip below the treeline, we’ll launch our kayaks for a peaceful journey from West Carrollton to Miamisburg. This trip is all about the "slow down." We’ll float through the transition from daylight to dusk, watching the sky turn shades of pink and orange while the river becomes a mirror for the sunset.
This is the perfect way to wash away the stress of the week and reconnect with the natural world in a calm, supportive environment. And maybe to catch a sighting of an eagle or two!
Guided & Inclusive
Whether you are looking for a unique date night, a family outing, or a solo moment of zen, this trip is for you.
Beginner Friendly: No experience? No problem. Our expert guides ensure you feel safe and confident from launch to landing.
COED & Family Friendly: Open to everyone—men, women, and families alike!
Everything Provided: We handle the logistics. High-quality kayaks, PFDs (life jackets), and safety gear are all included.
Paddle for a Purpose: The Adventure Grant
Every stroke you take helps someone else find their way to the water. A portion of every registration goes directly to the Hope Wanders Adventure Grant program. Our mission this year is bold: We aim to fill a designated Adventure Grant spot on every single one of our summer trips. By joining us for a sunset paddle, you are directly funding a transformative outdoor experience for a deserving woman in our community who needs the healing power of adventure.

Weather & River Conditions
Safety is always our top priority. Paddle events may be delayed, modified, or canceled due to unsafe weather or river conditions including, but not limited to:
Severe weather
Lightning
Flooding or unsafe river flow
High winds
Other hazardous natural conditions
If an event must be canceled due to weather or river safety concerns, participants will receive a transferable event credit valid for another Hope Wanders or Taiters Kayak paddle event during the current season.
We will offer at least one alternate event date—and in most cases, several available event options—to ensure participants have opportunities to reschedule their experience.
Participant Transfers
If you are unable to attend your registered event, your registration may be transferred to another available paddle event during the season with advance notice, based on availability.
Organizer Cancellations
If an event is canceled by organizers for reasons unrelated to weather, river safety, or natural conditions, a refund may be issued.
Communication
Participants will be notified via email and/or social media regarding weather updates, event modifications, or cancellations. Final weather-related decisions are typically made the morning of the event when conditions can be most accurately assessed.
Thank you for supporting Hope Wanders and helping us continue creating meaningful outdoor experiences and community adventures.
