Event Navigation
Because of the heat advisory for Friday, we have decided to postpone the paddle for one week. The well-being of our supporters and staff are our top priority. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused but the rescheduled date is 7/29/22 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm.
- If you are registered already and CAN attend 7/29, you DO NOT need to do anything. You’re on the attendee list!
- If you CANNOT make 7/29, please send an email to nrago@greatswamp.org to cancel so we can invite the next person on the waitlist.
Ease into your weekend with a leisurely paddle on the Passaic River. As you experience the sunset from the water, you may also be visited by some great blue heron, turtles, and other wildlife that uses the stream corridor as habitat and migration route. Children 8 and up are welcome. All participants 15 and under must be accompanied by a parent.
This event is limited to 9 paddlers, so only 2 spots available per registration. All participants must be able to swim, be comfortable on the water, and wear clothes and footwear that can (and will) get wet and muddy. The put-in location will be near the Essex Environmental Center. The specific location will be announced to registered participants after we check conditions. Kayaks and life vests are provided.
Kayak Waiver: Each participant MUST submit one of the forms below. If the person is under the age of 18 then a parent or guardian must sign their form and assume responsibility for the minor. Please complete, sign and bring the form(s) with you on Friday. Ginger will be collecting them.
This event is sold out! Email nrago@greatswamp.org to be added to a waitlist.
