Join the NSRWA on a guided kayak paddle of the North River from Union St. Bridge to Couch Beach and return. We will paddle a lovely section of the North River estuary, stopping at Couch Beach with time to explore, picnic, and swim, then return to Union St. with the tide. We will paddle up river with the tide, then return after the tide flips. A fantastic trip with amazing natural scenery and local history, including several historical North River Ship Yard sites. Great for birding and photography too. We will also discuss the timing of the North River tides to help participants gain confidence in planning a river trip of their own!

NSRWA will provide the paddles, PFDs, and single person recreational kayaks.

This is a rare NSRWA offering with limited capacity. Don't miss out. This is a great opportunity for those who signed up for the Great River Race!

We will be paddling with the help of a tidal current. However, previous paddling experience is required, as this trip will cover nearly 3 miles and require mild strength and stamina. Participants will be asked to help carry the boats a very short distance to the put in. Youth ages 12 and up and welcome, but must be accompanied by an adult.
