Learn about the natural and cultural history of the Anacostia River with the Anacostia Watershed Society on a guided canoe tour! You will explore the ecological and historical changes that have occurred in the river and in the communities around the river. We will have the opportunity to witness some of the restoration of river habitats and how it has caused the rebound of the wildlife in the Anacostia River. 

Meeting Location: We will gather near the playing fields at Kenilworth Park at 1500 Deane Ave NE.  There is a gravel parking lot available. 

What to Wear/Bring: We recommend wearing sunscreen and a hat and bringing water and a towel (sometimes you get splashed while canoeing).

Note: 

• All tours are weather dependent. We will proceed in light rain, but may need to cancel if there is heavy rain, lightning, or strong wind in the forecast.

• If you are sick or exhibiting symptoms associated with COVID-19 (such as fever, chills, cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing, loss of taste or smell, etc.), please do not come to the event and consider joining us another time.

If you have any questions prior to the event, please contact Emily Castelli at ecastelli2@anacostiaws.org. We look forward to hosting you on our favorite river!
