Leader: Genevieve Wall Connect with the Anacostia River this summer with a relaxed-pace paddle through at Bladensburg Waterfront Park. We’ll discuss the history and ecology of the river. On our way, we’ll likely observe herons, osprey, and bald eagles on the hunt, and riverine summer plants such as cardinal flower and pickerel weed in bloom. Come, dip a toe in – connecting with the river is always fun in community! Beginner paddlers welcome. Canoe, paddles, and lifejackets will be provided. Participants must be able to carry up to 20 pounds, sit in a low seat, and keep their balance getting in and out of a boat. Limit 8 participants.
