Potomac River Heritage Kayak Trip

The
“Nation’s River” is an amazing waterway that maintains a near-wilderness
quality as it flows between Maryland and Virginia to Georgetown and beyond.
Each of our kayaking trips focus on a section of the Potomac or a tributary,
giving us the time and luxury of taking a closer look at its natural and
cultural history. The exact location of this trip will depend on weather and
river conditions on that day. We’ll paddle for 3-4 hours on moving water, so
you should be proficient at basic strokes and comfortable paddling flat water
for a few hours at a time. We’ll do a quick review of moving water safety
considerations and maneuvers. This is not an instructional course, so if you’ve
never paddled, try Beginning Kayaking first. Fee covers kayak, paddle, PFD, a dry
bag, and round-trip transportation from 
Black Hill Regional Park to the river locations. FOBH $65. Register at
ParkPASS.org - 281709. 18 & up.  $70
