Puppies and Paddles (18Y+)
You love spending time with your dog and you love spending time on the water. Let’s do both. At Britton Park we’ll be launching you and your pup in sit on top kayaks for a one-hour paddle. All size dogs (and their people) are welcome, but dogs must have their own lifejacket. We’ll provide lifejackets for dog moms and dads. Please be sure your dog can remain obedient and is comfortable in the water. Boats accommodate one adult and one dog.
