Trip Descriptions

Come explore the upper reaches of the York River and Smelt Brook on these free kayaking trips.  Trips will launch from the Scotland Bridge boat ramp and paddle up stream to experience the beautiful salt marsh and estuary.  Each trip will be approximately 2 hours and include basic paddling instruction as well as education on the ecology of the York River and surrounding landscape.   All necessary equipment will be provided.  If you would like to use your own equipment, please let us know prior to the day of the trip.  No paddling experience required.
