Interested in getting out on the river? Come join one of our public educational paddle trips! Friends of the Kaw guides student and public educational paddle trips for paddlers of all ages and experience levels. We provide canoes or double kayaks, paddles and PFDs (personal floatation device), basic instruction, safety information, and an educational sandbar seminar.
The purpose of our paddle trips is to educate groups on the Kansas River system, including ecology, watersheds, and human impacts on the water. If your group is more interested in a purely recreational paddle, we recommend visiting one of the kayak/canoe rental companies located along the river.
