The Delaware Riverkeeper Network is offering two FREE 3-hour guided, LEARN-TO-PADDLE trips on the Delaware River starting at the Glen Foerd Historic Mansion in Northeast Philadelphia. Each trip will be guided by experienced paddling instructors to help both youth and adults learn to paddle and enjoy this relaxing sport right in your own backyard.
Our river guides will also share important info about the Delaware River and the fish, birds, frogs and other wildlife that live in and around the area.
The trips are opened to all ages 14+. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
Come prepared: Getting in and out of your boat can be a wet and muddy experience. All participants should come dressed for the weather and be prepared for moderate physical exertion.
