About this event

  • Event lasts 5 hours

Join expert paddler Jim Pfiffer for a guided educational paddle of the Chemung River. As we paddle from Mulholland Road Boat Launch in Painted Post, NY to Conhocton Street Boat Launch in Corning, NY our educational component for this paddle is: What is a river? How it works? Why do we need them? How to help them.

Please dress for the weather and wear water shoes, a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a life jacket if you have one. LIFE JACKETS ARE REQUIRED. We will have life jackets available if you don't have one. A water bottle and snacks are also recommended.

The FCRW Kayak Rental price includes the guided river tour and a kayak rental (if you need one, we have a very limited number of kayaks available). We will meet at Conhocton Street Boat Launch at 9AM . Paddlers will leave their vehicles at Conhocton Street, FCRW will shuttle paddlers to Mulholland Road for a safety talk and then launch our watercraft by 10:30AM.

The BYOK (Bring your own kayak) price includes the guided river tour. Paddlers bringing their own craft will drop them off at the start of the paddle at Mulholland Road Boat Launch where an FRCW Staff will watch over them, then travel to Conhocton Street Boat Launch to meet Jim and the rest of the paddlers at 9AM. Paddlers will leave their vehicles at Conhocton Street, FCRW will shuttle paddlers to Mulholland Road for a safety talk and then launch our watercraft by 10:30AM.
