This guided, fall kayak tour down the tree-lined Fox River offers the best view of the warm, fall foliage.
Stops along the way include local favorites, such as the Cave of the Spirit in Red Oak Nature Center and the bald eagle’s nest at Mooseheart School.
The last stop before the end of the trip will be at the North Aurora Dam, where we will have some hot chocolate, coffee and donuts! (Harners is closed on Sundays but we will have Dunkin')
You’ll find yourself in close contact with local Kane County wildlife, such as bald eagles, osprey, deer, beaver, muskrat, great blue heron, egret, kingfisher, and many more. This tour is perfect for all skill levels; it includes a dam in North Aurora that we will portage around and is easy to do.
The tour begins at the Aurora Athletic Club, where participants will park their cars and be shuttled up to the Glenwood Park Forest Preserve. Upon arrival at the park, participants will be given paddles and personal flotation devices, sized for kayaks, and receive dryland instruction for the following skills:
How to kayak in a straight line
How to steer
How to stop
How to stay upright and comfortable
Once the instruction is over, the guide will assist you in getting your boat into the water, and you’ll be ready to start your trip! Participants must be 15 years of age and at least 100lbs.
