Kayaking at Fountainhead Regional Park
Monday, July 14 @ 9:00 am – 11:00 am
Hear the birds singing and take in the commanding views of the Occoquan on a kayak paddle led by ACA certified paddling instructor and NOVA Parks Roving Naturalist, Matt Felperin. Expect to observe songbirds, Great Blue Herons, Cormorants, Osprey, and maybe even some Bald Eagles!
Invite your friends, adult (or almost adult) children or grandchildren ages 16+ to come enjoy the morning out on the water. We will begin with a brief paddling instruction overview before heading out.
Be sure to bring plenty of water and appropriate clothing; quick dry material is recommended along with close-toed sandals. Hats and sunscreen should be worn as well. Dry bags are recommended for personal items.
Meet at the Fountainhead Regional Park Boat Launch in Fairfax Station at 8:45am.
