Can You Canoe? Dugout Canoe Rides
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 08/27/2023
Dugout canoes were a major form of transportation for Native Americans in the Eastern
Woodlands for thousands of years. These vessels would be carefully crafted out of a single log
using stone tools and fire, and have been known to survive for thousands of years. The canoes
belonging to IAIS are recent recreations, which means we can take them out for a test ride
every once in a while. Join IAIS educators at Warren Town Beach for a traditional dugout canoe
ride as you dip your paddles into the past. No experience necessary. Participants will receive a
commemorative sticker.
