Sunset Kayaking on the Mississippi with Paddle Bridge (Southwest)


Adult Enrichment / Trips, Tours & Special Events -
Adult Enrichment Summer 2025

This sunset kayaking tour begins and ends at the Boom Island marina, a railroad tie factory-turned green space just northeast of downtown.

After a short paddle skill introduction on land, your guide will lead you on a loop of the downtown riverfront. Enjoy one of the most distinctive skyline views from anywhere in town, a visit to a hidden lagoon, and relax above the falls that carved out our city.
Our Paddle Bridge guides each have their own style and stories to tell, but all will share in pulling back the veil of time and pointing out various histories written, washed away, and sometimes still visible on the banks of the Mississippi.

The route and duration is subject to flexibility depending on weather conditions, water level & flow-rate, and group dynamics. Distance will be reflected accordingly, but averages 3-4 miles on this stretch.

**What to bring:**
- Dress for water! Wear lightweight clothing that you wouldn’t mind getting wet - hot tip, have a dry layer in your car to change into after just in case.
- Hats and sunglasses for the glare off the water
- Sunscreen/Water bottle - guides should have extra, but we encourage use of a reusable water bottle to lessen reliance on single-use plastics.
- Snacks for your guide - just kidding, but never a bad idea for yourself. Roughly a 1.5 hour paddle
