Merchants Millpond State Park is offering a canoe 101 class on Tuesday, April 1st, 2025. This event will cover the basics of canoeing for those who are unfamiliar or are in need a refresher. We will meet at the visitor center at 10:00 AM and start with a small lecture to cover a few basic steps, followed by a trip out on the Millpond to build on the skills we've covered. This event is expected to last about 2 hours and conclude at 12:00 PM.
This event is open to all ages.
Canoes, life jackets and paddles will be offered at no charge. Guests are requested to dress for the weather and bring water and sunscreen. To sign up, please call the visitor center at 252-357-1191.
