This leisurely three hour trip requires that participants paddle their canoe or kayak.  Instruction will be given prior to the tour if necessary.  Paddlers should bring appropriate clothing, sun protection, insect repellant, and drinking water.  A meeting place will be arranged at the time of registration.  If you have questions regarding the physical requirements, call Parks and Recreation for trip options.  Available dates will go quickly so call to schedule your private trip today!  Requests must be made at least three weeks before desired date.  Group minimum is 8; maximum is 40.  Canoe trips are $16 per person and Kayak trips are $19 per person.
