Important Information

• Age Requirements: This ride is only recommended for children 12 years and older. All minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
• Kayaks and life jackets are provided.
• Where to Meet: Please go to The Bay’s ADA-accessible kayak and paddle launch located at the south-east edge of the bayou near the corner of Van Wezel Way and Blvd of the Arts.

IF YOUR PLANS CHANGE: Space is very limited and due to popular demand, there is a growing waitlist. As a courtesy to other park guests, please quickly cancel your Eventbrite reservation if you are no longer able to attend so your spot can be released to someone else.

Ride & Paddle is presented by the Amy P. Goldman Foundation.
