Have an Eco-Adventure with the Heard’s Paddle Program

Learn about the aquatic ecosystem you are paddling, its amazing diversity in vegetation and wildlife, while learning about the history and basics of wetland ecology. No experience is necessary for any of these programs. All participants will be given an introduction to canoeing that includes basic strokes, boat safety, and flat water maneuvers. All canoe & safety equipment provided. Each canoe holds up to 3 people. Heard Natural Science Museum Water Guides provide leadership for all programs and are American Canoe Association Certified Instructors, Red Cross First Aid and US Coast Guard Boater Safety trained, and Leave No Trace Trainers.

Heard canoes are not available for personal use. Canoeing at the Heard is only available by reservation for groups or during pre-scheduled canoeing events.
