Come paddle the Potomac for an in-seine-ly good time! The brackish waters of Caledon's shoreline are home to a unique variety of fish and shellfish. Meet at the Visitor Center to join a ranger for a guided paddle where we'll explore using seine and other nets to discover what is in the water. Make sure to wear close-toed shoes and clothes that can get wet. Beginners welcome.

Paddlers must be age 16+ for a solo kayak and age 8+ (with an adult) for tandem kayak. Paid reservations are required as space is limited. Please call 540-663-3861 or stop by the Visitor Center to reserve your spot. Parking fee is $5.
