Kaw River Camp Out
About this Event
Join us Saturday September 12th, for an epic river adventure! We will paddle the Kaw on Saturday afternoon from the Manhattan K-177 Bridge/Fairmont Access Ramp in Manhattan to St. George, 12 miles. We'll find the perfect sandbar for camping along this 12 mile section of the Kaw. This will be a relaxing afternoon with plenty of stops on sandbars. Once we choose our spot, we'll get set up for camping and enjoy dinner and time together around the fire. Sunday morning, we'll wake up to coffee and breakfast around the fire and more social time relaxing before paddling the rest of the way to St. George to get off the river.
No kids under 16 or dog friends on this adventure.
