Last year was a great success so why change a good thing?!
Bring friends and family and meet some new friends on the river Saturday, June 25. Enjoy a leisurely float on the river, watching for bald eagles, otters, deer, waterfowl, bass, trout and more.
There will be live music and good food at the end of the trip. A $20 donation will provide shuttle service and route guidance while supporting Genesee River Wilds ongoing efforts to protect and enhance your local river.
