Free Thursday Night Sunset Paddles

In partnership with Delaware River Waterfront Corporation, join Riverways for beginner-friendly, free sunset paddles on the Delaware River from Cherry St Pier. These paddles are 2-3 miles round trip in single-seat kayaks, and paddlers will be provided free equipment and instruction prior to paddling. No previous paddling or swim experience needed. Paddlers must be 12+ to participate. Registation is required! 

Every Thursday evening in October, 4:30pm – 7pm.  A $10 donation is required to hold your seat due to limited equipment availability, donations are refundable upon arrival.

Have your own kayak and want to join the trip? Feel free to BYOBoat. Registration still required.
