We'll ride down to the beach and learn about the shipwreck history of Boyd's Hole, then head upriver in search of shark teeth. Wear close-toed shoes and clothes that can get wet. Must be 16+ for solo kayak and 8+ (accompanied by an adult) for tandem kayak. Reservations are required as space is limited. Call 540-663-3861 or stop by the Visitor Center to reserve your kayak.
