An Urban Wilderness Canoe Adventure is coming to Louisville! Metro Parks is providing an opportunity to canoe the Ohio River, taking off from both Riverview and Shawnee Parks. This adventure will showcase the beauty of the great outdoors... in Louisville’s own backyard.
Free trips will be conducted in safe and stable 24-foot Voyageurs, which hold 9 participants.
Safety equipment and trained staff will be provided. The event is open to everyone 3 and older.
Adventurers should wear comfortable outdoor clothing that can get wet - no flip-flops. Ice water will be available, so bring a refillable water bottle. Food will be available for purchase.
Preregistration is not required. Trips are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and will leave every 30 minutes. All participants must sign a waiver; those under 18 must have a waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian.
