We are kicking off a new, incredible experience on the Wabash River on Aug 2 – FLOAT JAM!
Picture this – you and 150 other folks are paddling down the Wabash. On a nearby fishing boat, strumming their guitar and singing a song, is a local musician. The summer sun shines, the breeze rustles your hair, and the gentle current of the Wabash carries you downstream.
We have over 40 boats that you can chose to paddle in. Make new friends in a raft or voyageur canoe, paddle solo in a kayak, or bring a friend in a 2-person canoe. We’ll provide life jackets and paddles for those using our boats. If you have your own boat, you can still sign up! Just plan to drop it off at Davis Ferry and park your car in the Wabash Landing Parking Garage.
We'll provide transportation to get you from your parked car at Tapawingo to the launch point at Davis Ferry. No innertubes and no motor boats! This is a paddling event. All participants must be at least 10 years old.
