About this event

Description

Join ACA certified paddle instructor and Roving Naturalist Matt Felperin for an awesome adventure... a guided tour through picturesque Pohick Creek! This extended paddle tour is intended for experienced paddlers only, and is designed to take you through several types of native habitat during a critical change in seasons for local wildlife. See acres of Wild Rice as it begins to seed. Observe a wide variety of bird species as they prepare for their migration south. Be on the lookout for Muskrats, Beavers, and River Otters as we paddle further upstream. You never know what surprises may be ahead!

Be sure to bring plenty of water, snacks, and appropriate clothing; quick dry material is recommended along with close-toed sandals. Hats and sunscreen should be worn as well. Dry bags are recommended for personal items. Program includes experienced guide, kayak rental, paddle, and PFD.

Unpredictable weather conditions are to be expected. Guides will assess the weather at the time of the tour. If it is unsafe, the trip will be rescheduled or cancelled. In the event of cancellation a full refund will be given. Meet at boat rentals. $45, Ages 16+
