RiverLab: Intermediate Paddle at Ping Tom
Tom (Ping) Memorial Park
About this Experience
This paddle is for folks who are comfortable and confident maneuvering their canoe in a straight line on windy, flat, and bumpy water created by the wake of other boaters. It will be important to have the ability to stay on the right-hand side of the river as there will be other boat traffic that has the right of way. The Chicago Park District's RiverLab program is a series of educational events and activities dedicated to reconnecting residents of Chicago with their river. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
