Wednesday, August 4, 2021 at 8:34AMVia an August 4 e-announcement from Mississippi Watershed Management Organization:
Share the River Nordeast on Wednesday, August 18!
Join us for an evening of community, canoeing, and cookies! Stop by anytime between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. on August 18 for a free introductory canoe ride on the Mississippi River, then grab a cookie and enjoy a variety of fun and educational activities at our Stormwater Park and Learning Center. This family-friendly event is great for kids and adults of all ages. (Please note that you must weigh at least 30 lbs. in order to fit the provided life jackets.)
In addition to learning to paddle on the river, participants will also have opportunities to learn about the Mississippi River’s history, water quality, plants, animals and more. You’ll also be able to connect with other local organizations about their work in the community for the environment.
Canoe rides will be led by guides from Wilderness Inquiry, with support from National Park Service rangers from the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area and Mississippi Park Connection staff.
Parking and Transportation
Attendees are advised to use on-street parking, as the MWMO’s parking lot will be unavailable during the event. Bike parking, a Nice Ride station, and bus transit options are also available in the area.
