Explore the calm shallows, dip your paddles in the Chesapeake and the Susquehanna River. Click
Pine Barrens Kayak: Wading River, NJ - This is a fun river that winds its way through New Jersey Pinelands. While there we will find out why the water here is tea colored. Paddle one of our area's most pristine waterways. We'll also look for pitcher plants and natural cranberries as we paddle this windy waterway.
Brandywine Kayak: Spend the day with us as we take a relaxing paddle through southeastern PA and northern DE. Waterfowl and birds of prey are regularly sighted.
Schuylkill to Bentzwood Kayak - The Schuylkill river is a great river to explore and is home to a wide variety of wildlife. We'll discuss the history of the Schuylkill River and Canal, and its enormous impact on life in the Philadelphia area. As we enter into Valley Forge Park we will cross into a world of historical significance. This fun river even has a few beginner rapids to keep it exciting and Great Blue Herons always seem to be flying alongside you.
Evening Canoe - We'll canoe along the Schuylkill River and Canal, stopping for dinner at a restaurant along the way. After dinner we paddle under the stars and moonlight. A fun casual night, buffet dinner included at the Fitzwater Station Restaurant.

Introduction to Kayaking - Even though most of our trips are very beginner friendly sometimes you may want that added assurance that a class like this will provide. We spend several hours on land learning about kayaks, paddles, proper fit, paddling technique and more. After our on land instruction we head into the water to put our paddles into the water to see what it really feels like. This course will provide all you need to know to kayak safely and give you the time and attention you need to master each skill without feeling the need to "keep up with the group". 9AM - 3:30PM - Wednesday, MLSN
NEW!! Fort Mott, NJ Kayaking - If you enjoy military history in the least this is a fun place to paddle. We set off from Fort Mott, NJ along the Delaware River and after paddling along the expansive River we take a turn and explore the many narrow waterways that sit alongside the Delaware River. This area has an abundance of wildlife including Bald Eagles and Osprey. We'll save some time to explore Fort Mott as well and it's strategic importance in defending this area. 8:30am - 6pm - MLSN
