Outdoor Beyond Barriers: Adaptive Kayaking 101

Join us for an adaptive paddling program in partnership with Catalyst Sports at Tallulah Gorge’s new accessible dock on Tallulah Lake. Adaptive kayaks with specialized equipment will be available for use during the program. This paddle program will be led by trained representatives from Catalyst Sports as well as rangers from Tallulah Gorge.

This program is free, but a valid state park pass is required. Pre-registration is strongly recommended as space is limited!
