Voyageur Canoe Tour of Lake Pepin Restoration
June 10 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Join Lake Pepin Legacy Alliance and Wilderness Inquiry for a Mississippi canoe tour! This beginner-friendly trip is for those looking to experience the natural beauty and rich history of the iconic river from inside a 20-foot canoe. The journey starts in Red Wing, Minnesota, at Bay Point Park, and we paddle southward through Bay City, Wisconsin.
When: June 10th from 12 – 3 pm CT.
Canoe trip: Families (families with children ages 9 yrs and up)
As you paddle down the river, you will be treated to breathtaking views of towering bluffs, shimmering sandbars, and abundant wildlife, including bald eagles, and maybe even a rare sighting of a river otter. The tour will feature a naturalist talk about the ecosystem and a new project to restore the river and its habitat.
The trip will last 2.5 hours and vans will return you at the end to the park where we began. Despite the short time on the water, you will need to be prepared for a range of weather conditions. Dress in light layers and bring sun protection.
This Mississippi canoe trip is perfect for those who want to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, learn how to paddle in a safe and controlled environment. It offers a chance to connect with nature, learn about the rich history, and create unforgettable memories with friends and family.
