Additional Information

Come out canoeing with your MHS friends! This is a fun and relaxing family adventure suitable for everyone 3 years old and up. 

The Harpeth River is a class 1 river, which means that it flows at a relaxed pace, with the odd mild rapid thrown in to wake us up!  There are plenty of areas where occupants can get out and walk on sandbars or gavel and lots of pretty places to stop and have lunch :) The canoes are rated for 700lbs each - mom and dad plus 1-2 little kids would be fine, but 3 adults is a bit crowded. Each canoe is $30 and the rental includes transportation to and from the river and life jackets for everybody. We will meet at Foggy Bottom at 10:30am and our canoe trip will take us approximately 3 hours. We will stop for lunch along the river, so bring something to eat!

Tips:

-Make sure you bring DRINKS. Hydration is very important.

-Wear regular tied shoes or water shoes. People lose flip flops.

-Bring sunscreen, bug spray, a towel, and dry clothes.

-Make sure everything you carry with you is secured and in waterproof bags!

-Leave at home things you dont want to lose.

-We will be expected to practice Leave No Trace wilderness ethics - no littering is allowed. 

-Let us know if your family has an extra person and would like to find a canoe partner.

We will see you out there!

Please sign in & sign up all adults & children attending to let us know who is coming!
