Birding by
Kayak with DCP
It’s paddling season! Grab the water bottles, sunscreen, binoculars,
and a hat, and let’s get on the water. On Saturday, July 16th at 9am
join naturalists at Shawnee Prairie Preserve west of Greenville on St.
Rt. 502 for an exciting summer paddle. After meeting at the Nature
Center, participants will travel to the put in location where they will
paddle Lake Loramie. Birding by boat offers unique views of sometimes
hard to see birds. Enjoy a morning paddle near the shores of the lake.
With binoculars participants will leisurely navigate the lakeside
habitat in search of birds. In the past, paddlers have encountered
spectacular views of Great Blue Herons, Cormorants, Warblers, and more.
Please be aware this float is for experienced paddlers only. Paddling
outings are weather dependent, and adjustments may be necessary due to
conditions. All equipment is provided. Parks’ staff members are
certified kayak instructors. Dress for the possibility of getting wet.
Call to reserve a kayak, and there will be a $10 fee for the program.
For more information about this or any of the other exciting trips in
this season’s series, to register for the program, or other Park
District programs, please call the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165 or
