Join us for an evening paddle to see the Supermoon on the 18th. Come earlier in the day for a tour of the ruin ($15/person for a tour).

The 22nd will be the official start of fall, great for a morning paddle!

On both of these paddles, you’ll be accompanied by Alice French who will share our unique flora and fauna that makes Menokin a one-of-a-kind destination to spend a quiet paddle on Cat Point Creek.
