Guided Paddling Trips
Get out on the water with us to learn about loons while watching them! In a small group setting, we will observe and interpret loon behaviors and vocalizations, learn the fascinating history of the loons on each lake, and discuss the conservation concerns that have affected the loons on the lake and the management work being done to help them successfully reproduce each year. In order to maintain the small group setting, trips will be limited to 10 participants, and RSVP is required. Please see the details for each trip for RSVP information. Click here for more details on the paddling trips, including a list of suggested items to bring to ensure a good experience.
Please note that some of these paddling trips are being co-hosted by other organizations. Some details may not be finalized just yet, so please check back in the coming weeks for updated details!
