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 kayaks, paddles, PFDs,
a dry bag, and round-trip transportation from Black Hill Regional Park to the
river locations. FOBH
$65. Register at ParkPASS.org (267249). 18
& up; $70
