About this event
The final Tuesday-and-Thursday evening paddle of the year at the Downtown Boathouse. After tonight, free kayaking continues only at weekends until early October. Kayaks, paddles and life vests are lent out on the spot, sessions run about twenty minutes inside the buoyed embayment, and the whole thing is staffed by volunteers.
Why we picked it
Last weeknight kayaking of the 2026 season - a clear, dateable hook.
