Catalyst Sports - Adaptive Kayaking

In partnership with Catalyst Sports, our adaptive kayaking program allows you to get out on the water and experience the maximum amount of independence while soaking in the sights and sounds of nature. 

Our lead kayak instructors are trained in ACA Adaptive Paddling and have the ability to adapt the kayaks with additional equipment to accommodate a variety of needs.

Our dock includes a ramp, transfer seat and kayak launch to ease into the river.

To take part in our adaptive kayaking program we require kayakers to meet the following:
