We will ride the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail to the starting point of our river trip. Paddle together down the Kalamazoo River with naturalists, river experts, and lifeguards through KNC natural areas, past heron rookeries and an eagle’s nest before breaking for lunch on the KNC River Deck.  Supported by the KRWC and KNC.  

If you need a boat, please register for equipment during registration. Helmets and life jackets are required for participation in this event. All participants will need their own bike for this event.  Start time and instructions will be shared with registered guests. Donations are welcome. Help us support events like this in the future.
