Paddle Anacostia River to Kenilworth Aquatic Garden - RENTALS AVAILABLE

This is one of the few locations we visit where rentals are available. If you sat on the sidelines all last year, THIS is your opportunity to find out what the cool kids have been doing. Reserve a kayak or canoe for the afternoon session here.

We'll shove off from Bladensburg Waterfront Park promptly at 1:30pm to accommodate any renters and head downstream towards the National Arboretum. It will be high tide, so we can either do some exploring around the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens to see if any of the lotuses have transplanted themselves out to the tidal area. We will turn around there and fight a very gentle outgoing tide as we paddle back to Bladensburg. Total distance is just over 4 miles.

This is event is suitable for paddleboards, recreational/touring kayaks, and canoes, but not inflatable kayaks or rafts. Everyone must WEAR, not just bring a USCG-approved life jacket or PFD.

Please Please Please do not block any of the gangways to the docks with your car as you unload. I know there are enough of us that we could easily take down any rowers that want to start a fight with us, but some of us already have criminal records.
