Kayaking in the Bay: Kayak Tour of Hendrix Creek

Join us for a tour of the Penn side... from the water!

We will provide all necessary equipment including: kayak, paddles, PFD (personal floatation device).

WHAT: Join us for kayaking in Fresh Creek!

WHO: This program is for experience paddlers! Participants must be at least 15 years old to paddle. The EE Team will call to verify you paddling skill level once you have registered.

WHEN: Friday August 19th, from 10am to 12pm. This tour will last approximately 2 hours.

WHERE: Kayak programs are held at the Penn Water Access Area, a 10 minute walk from the parking lot along gravel trails. Paddlers must be on-time for their session or they will not be permitted on the water.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: All participants must sign a NY State Parks waiver in order to paddle. Participants are expected to wear a PFD at all times while on the water.

Our boats are all double sit-on top kayaks. Boats will be assigned based on group needs.

You will have to wade into the water to get into the kayak, so please wear secure footwear that you do not mind getting wet and muddy. You will not be allowed to paddle or walk on the shoreline barefoot, as there are sharp rocks and shells in the sand.

All paddling programs are weather dependent and subject to cancelation or rescheduling if weather, tide, or water conditions are deemed unsafe by the instructor.
