Join us on June 20 at 6:30 AM and be the first group on the river for the day! Our Sunrise Paddle begins before the park opens. You'll paddle through calm, crystal-clear waters with one of our expert guides and have the best chance to spot wildlife like otters, deer, turtles, and birds along the way. 🛶🦦

This small-group paddle is one of the most peaceful ways to experience the river, and one of our favorite trips of the year.

✨ Rentals start at $55/person (Including shuttle transportation)
✨ Bring your own vessel for $40/person

Spots are limited, reserve yours today!
