Wapsi through the Seasons: Summer Kayak


Event Summary

The spring trip on the Wapsi was held in May.  Now is the time to register for the summer float.  Later in the fall another trip will be held on the same section of river to see seasonal changes.  Winter will feature a walk through some of the same sections of river that were paddled. 

For the summer kayak trip, people will meet at Three Elms Area boat ramp in Independence.  There will be several stops along the way to learn about the nature of the river and its forested corridor, and share discoveries and sightings.  The float will end at the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Walter House at Cedar Rock State Park.  An optional, special tour of this unique historic site will be offered to those who can stick around.  Registration includes use of a kayak, life vest, and paddle.  Participants should bring sunscreen, insect repellent, lunch, drinks (at least 32 ounces), and any snacks.  Transportation between accesses will be available, but masks may be required while in transport.
