Join the St. Louis River Alliance and UMD’s Recreational Sports Outdoor Program (UMD RSOP) on Thursday, July 24 from 5-8 p.m. for a hands-on, free Beginner Kayaking & Water Safety River Connection event - location to be determined. All gear will be provided including life jackets, sea kayaks, and paddles. No prior paddle experience necessary.
During this event attendees will learn the importance of how to properly fit and wear a life jacket, cold water safety, how to fit a kayak, and basic paddle stroke skills. There will be some on-land training followed by a short guided paddle on the St. Louis River Estuary National Water Trail. We encourage folks of all backgrounds and abilities to register. More details coming soon!
