Paddle 14.6 river miles on our very own Maumee River, a State Scenic River, by paddling from Providence Metropark to Side Cut Metropark on the Maumee River Water Trail with a naturalist. Learn about the wildlife that make the Maumee River and floodplain their home and the parks that protect this crucial natural resource along the way. Stop midway for an amazing lunch of chicken salad or chickpea curry wraps, cheese and crackers, and cookies. This paddle involves multiple rapids and strenuous paddling. This is not for beginner paddlers. Lunch provided.
