Kansas River Adventure - Lawrence to Eudora

Join Compass Point home of Dirty Girl Adventures for a Kansas River Adventure on Saturday October 5th to spend some time on the Mighty Kaw.

The Kaw is our favorite place to spend time in nature and we can't wait to share it with you. We will paddle the Mighty Kaw from Lawrence to Eudora. This lovely section of the Kansas River will include sandbar exploration and fabulous views from the Kaw. You can expect to see some wildlife; maybe even bald eagles. Time on the Kaw is also a wonderful time to make connections with friends both old and new.

We will send an email to all registrants 24 hours prior to the event. All details may change based on weather and river conditions.
