Let’s Go Paddling!

, , , , ,

In honor of RiverFest week, join our naturalists on a scenic kayaking trip up to the beautiful Willow Falls, before peacefully floating back down the Willow River. This is a great activity to enjoy individually, with a friend, or as a family! Children ages 10 and up, with a parent/guardian and capable of operating their own kayak are welcome to join! There is also the option of renting one of our 2-4 person canoes. Please dress for the weather and bring along a lifejacket (or wear one of ours) waterproof shoes, drinking water, sunscreen and bug spray. We’ll meet at the boat launch for this event!

Meet at the Willow River boat launch Willow River State Park, 1034 County Road A, Hudson

Registration is required as spots are limited. Register here: https://tinyurl.com/letsgopaddle

This event costs $25/kayak or canoe. Vehicle admission into the park is a separate and required fee. All outdoor events are weather-dependent.
