Celebrate the Summer Solstice on the Mississippi River with a relaxed evening paddle from Mississippi Gateway Regional Park. We’ll paddle a few miles downstream, enjoying the longest day of the year and the start of summer from one of the best seats possible—on the water.

All human-powered boat types are welcome, though trip leaders will be paddling whitewater kayaks. Participants should be comfortable paddling Class I moving water and must bring their own boat, paddle, PFD, and other required gear.

Hosted by two local female paddlers, this is a great opportunity to enjoy a scenic stretch of the Mississippi, connect with fellow paddlers, and soak in the extended daylight that only the summer solstice can bring.
