🛶 Canoeing Adventure Awaits! 🌊
Enjoy an evening of canoeing while learning about fascinating conservation topics that will interest folks of all ages! How did invasive jellyfish get into our lakes? What are the dangers of harmful algal blooms? How can I help save endangered aquatic wildlife? Our guides are sure to pique your curiosity while teaching you the basics of canoeing and pointing out local wildlife. No canoe experience is required. Life jackets, paddles, and boats provided. Canoes that fit up to three people are available. A limited amount of single kayaks are also available. Program cost is per person. Meet at the nature center and we will walk down to the lake together! Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied in the boat by an adult.
This program has been made possible with support from the Douglas County Heritage Conservation Council.
