June 25, 2025. 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

The day has been filled with fun activities, but now it is time to wind down with a peaceful paddle on the lake. Join an interpretive ranger as we take the park's canoes out for an evening on the water. Along the way we'll point out animals, plants, and sounds of the evening. We'll also stop to discuss the history of the park and how it came to be.

All materials will be provided. Wear closed-toe shoes and clothing that you don't mind getting wet. You must pre-register and pay the $10 per participant fee at the Discovery Center or by calling 276-781-7400.
