August Guided Paddle

  • Menokin Foundation 4037 Menokin Road Warsaw, VA, 22572 United States (map)

+Friday, August 8: Sunset/Full Moon Paddle (6:30PM - 8:30PM)

The ever popular Full Moon Paddle returns! The Indigenous Eastern Woodlands Tribes called this moon the Sturgeon Moon due to the abundance of this species during August. Today our sturgeon fish population are being closely monitored. Sturgeons are the most endangered species group on earth. These gentle giants have been around since the age of the dinosaurs, but are now on the brink of extinction due to overfishing, a flourishing illegal caviar trade and habitat loss. But we can still save sturgeons and in the process, revive the rivers they live in for the benefit of people and nature. Come explore the beautiful habitat we conserve to protect this ancient species and watch the sunset over the water.

Kayak rentals include all equipment (kayak, paddle, seat, life jacket). Guided paddles are led by our Director of Education & Programs, Alice French. Join a group of kayakers and enjoy Cat Point Creek together! Learn more about kayak rentals here.
