Moonlight Float
2026-07-24 20:00 - 23:59
Friday July 24
🌙 Join Us for a Moonlight Float on the River! 🚣‍♀️✨
Get ready for a magical night on the water! This year we’ll be doing a 4‑mile moonlight float, starting while there’s still daylight and drifting down the river as it slowly transforms into nighttime. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the glow of evening on the water.
We’ll have kayaks staged and ready, along with some glow gear—but feel free to bring your own to really light things up! We’ll shuttle everyone to the drop‑off point where you can decorate your kayak and get set for the ride.
To help you along the way, we’ll have lighting at key obstacle spots. We learned that red lights work best for keeping bugs away, but still bring a little bug spray just in case. The moon is expected to rise earlier that night, adding beautiful natural light to the adventure.
Come out and enjoy an unforgettable evening float with us! 🌜💙🌊
