By NPT Staff - April 28th, 2012

Celebrate the spring migration with a paddle on the St. Croix River! On Saturday, May 12, from 8:45 a.m. to 1 p.m., the public can join a National Park Service ranger in paddling from Minnesota Interstate State Park to Osceola Landing.

Robin Maercklein, a biologist with the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, will lead the guided kayak program to see the migratory birds of spring and learn about how the Riverway serves as a corridor for their travel.

Kayaks and related equipment, including a personal flotation device, will be provided. A 30-minute paddling instruction and safety session will occur prior to departure and must be attended by all participants. Participants should have previous paddling experience and must be 18 years of age or older. Paddling time for the 6-½ mile trip is approximately 3-½ hours. Shuttle is included.

This program is co-sponsored by the St. Croix River Association. The cost is $25.00 per person. Space is limited to 8 participants. To register, contact the River Association at (715) 483-3300 or www.stcroixriverassociation.org.or http://scrapaddle.org/2012-paddles/birds-of-a-feather-512/ Registration deadline is May 4.

This is the first paddle in the 2012 Watershed Moments Paddle Series, which will explore the unique nature, history, and stories of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway by kayak.
