***This paddling trip is reserved for first time paddlers.

If you have paddled with us before, we will have another opportunity in September.***

Katie Martens, Park Educator and a FODC representative will lead this excursion.

Learn paddling basics, including the equipment and strokes needed for an enjoyable experience.

This leisurely excursion is a perfect opportunity for beginners to dip their toes into the world of kayaking, offering a unique perspective of the flora and fauna from the water.

We'll listen and watch for wildlife and learn about the area's natural history.

Once a quarry, the Giving Pond is part of the Delaware Canal State Park and is adjacent to the Canal.

The Park will have 9 single kayaks and 2 tandem kayaks, equipped with PFDs and paddles, to loan.

PLEASE NOTE:

• There is a maximum of 13 participants for this paddle.

• The minimum age to participate in this program is 10.

• Anyone under the age of 15 must be in a tandem kayak with an adult.
