Location: Meet at Voyageur Landing Forest Preserve
Explore the Fox River by Kayak
Tour our local waterways during these paddling adventures. Each session, participants will receive dry-land instruction on basic kayaking techniques from an experienced instructor. Then, we’ll take to the water for a naturalist-led exploration of the fascinating local ecology. Participants meet and park at the take-out location and are shuttled to the put-in. Boaters must be at least 16 years old and be able to hold breath under water while wearing a properly fitted life jacket, independently turn from a face down to a face-up position keeping head above water, effectively communicate with the instructor and other participants, and manage all mobility and personal care independently or with the assistance of a companion. Registration is required one week prior to the program.
