Join us for one of our favorite sections of the Schuylkill River where we will paddle through narrow winding sections and even take a little ride down the infamous “Chutes.” We will paddle a total of 7.5 miles.

##### The “Chutes”

The chutes are a small feature where you will paddle through an old bridge and dip down about 1.5 feet into a calm flat water section. Our guides are there to assist you through this feature safely and easily.

##### Experience Needed?

You do not need to be an expert for this adventure. We ask that you have at least kayaked a couple of times and are comfortable paddling 7.5 miles spread out over a few hours.

##### Rentals?

Rentals are available through registration and our rentals always include a paddle and PFD.

##### Meeting Location

We will meet at the Port Clinton Launch which is located at, Schuylkill Street, Port Clinton PA, 19549.

##### Lunch

Participants should pack a lunch, snacks and plenty of hydration. We will stop along a gravel bank to take lunch. TIO has plenty of dry bags to borrow to pack your lunch in if needed.

##### When?

May 16th, 2026 at 10:00 am. It’s best to arrive 15 minutes early and we hope to be finished up the paddle by 3 pm.
