Discover White Clay Creek
The White Clay Creek canoe program is a paddle-in-the-present moment, featuring peaceful sounds of the wild, connections to water quality, and time with a hidden gem of the larger Delaware River watershed. We’ll paddle a few miles with many opportunities to take it slow and enjoy the scenery while learning about the importance of this National Wild and Scenic River.  Along the way, you’ll enjoy the following:
Canoe 101 introduction: no prior experience is necessary! This is an easy stretch of river for first-time paddlers. We’ll provide the canoes, dry bags, paddles, personal flotation devices, and fun.
A few shore stops to assess the river’s water quality through chemistry tests and aquatic macroinvertebrate life.
Historical and cultural presentations.
A scavenger hunt.
Water-related giveaways!
