An Evening Paddle On The Great Miami
Location not specified yetAn Evening Paddle on The Great Miami
YOU MUST REGISTER HERE!
Chasing Sunsets and Finding Peace on the Water.
There is a specific kind of magic that happens on the Great Miami River as the day begins to fade. We are thrilled to bring back our highly anticipated Evening Paddle series for several dates this summer! This isn't just a kayak trip; it’s an invitation to unplug, breathe, and witness the river in its most beautiful light.The Experience
As the sun begins to dip below the treeline, we’ll launch our kayaks for a peaceful journey from West Carrollton to Miamisburg. This trip is all about the "slow down." We’ll float through the transition from daylight to dusk, watching the sky turn shades of pink and orange while the river becomes a mirror for the sunset.This is the perfect way to wash away the stress of the week and reconnect with the natural world in a calm, supportive environment. And maybe to catch a sighting of an eagle or two!
