RIVERPALOOZA: FULL MOON SUNSET PADDLE
June 22 @ 4:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Come join the Upper Potomac Riverkeeper, Brent Walls, for our kayaking tour on the Potomac River with the launch point near beautiful and historic Harpers Ferry, WV. This unique paddle will have you experiencing the sunset on the Potomac as you’ve never seen before.
The evening is sure to be filled with fun and laughter, though there is some experience needed. In addition to the mellow water stretches, we will come across three sets of mild rapids, the last being a Class II+ wavy rapid fun! Prior experience maneuvering is advised on these medium-quick waters and rocks. This stretch of the Potomac runs along the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, which is a great historical, natural, and recreational treasure. The canal was created in 1828 and is one of the first large-scale civil works projects in this area. This trip has the possibility of seeing great blue herons, egrets, kingfishers, and maybe even an eagle along the river trail. As a bonus, the meet-up location is at the Brunswick Family Campground! This is a great opportunity to relax on the grounds after our paddle. Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind experience!
