Canoe Paddle at Earthplace


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 06/18/2023
Our canoe paddles are a great way to spend an afternoon on the water with family and friends! We will travel along the Saugatuck River in search of egrets, osprey, ducks, shorebirds and much more! Canoes, paddles and personal flotation devices (required for all participants) are included! Earthplace encourages people with special needs to participate in this event. Two spots, in one canoe, are reserved and participants must be able to follow directions and get in/out of a canoe independently.
