You Too Can Have Fun on the River!

We recently led a group of adults out on the river for our naturalist continuing education series. Here are some shots we captured along the way! Enjoy!

Check Us Out on NPR

Hi River Rats:

If any of you listen to City Cafe with John Lemley on NPR, you might have heard one of our canoe guides, Ms. Alicia Evans, talking about the fun and relaxing time had on CNC's river canoe trips. John joined Alicia, plus guides Joey and Beckie, with his trusty sound man Scott, for an exciting time out on the river. John, Scott and the guides saw various birds, including Great Blue Herons. A deer was briefly spotted in the marsh before Mile 314*! The history of the river, what to expect on canoe trips, what one might find out on the river and other topics were discussed as they all paddled down the river. On the way back, a storm started to brew. John and Scott were great paddlers coming back to avoid the rain. In the distant, a beautiful sunset with lightening dancing across it could be seen. Have no fear though - the canoes were out of harm's way and all returned safely back to shore. 

If any of you don't listen to City Cafe on NPR, well, now is a great time to start:

Hope to see you out on the river soon!
