Glide along the Cannon River Reservoir in a canoe or kayak, and let the ripples of the water carry you to a new state of mind. After instruction and safety protocol provided by River Bend staff, you will launch out onto the water and begin your paddling experience. Cruise the reservoir with very minimal current as you practice your strokes and float along, engulfed by beautiful North and South Alexander Park. By the time you flow into shore, you will have gained a deeper understanding of how to maneuver watercraft, and will have the confidence to launch out on your own. One staff member will be positioned on the water in a kayak for any support needed. All equipment provided, including lifejackets. The class is for any skill level. You will find a waiver form in your confirmation email. Please print, sign, and bring it with you to class. Kids under ten must be accompanied by an adult.
