Community Bulletin: Adaptive Kayaking Program
In partnership with Catalyst Sports, an adaptive kayaking program is available to enable individuals to engage in kayaking while enjoying the natural environment. The program emphasizes independence and includes trained instructors certified in ACA Adaptive Paddling, who are equipped to customize kayaks to meet various needs.
The dock facilities feature a ramp, transfer seat, and kayak launch designed to facilitate access to the river.
