The views from the Scioto River are priceless, but you can experience them for no cost on two days this summer! All experience levels welcome to enjoy a complimentary kayak, tandem kayaking and SUP rentals.
What to Expect

We expect the line for kayaks to be long, based on high demand. Get there early for the best chance of being able to ride. We will start getting folks on the water at 1 pm.
We will be using a wristband system. Wristbands will be distributed on a first come first serve basis. Once all wristbands are distributed, the line will be cut off. Please note that this will likely be soon after 1 pm based on expected demand.
If you do not receive a wristband, you will not be able to ride a kayak.
Safety is a top priority. All participants must wear a life vest (provided). We ask that you follow all instructions provided by volunteers at the event.
There will be lots of other FREE activities to enjoy on the Riverfront including the Scioto Mile Fountain. We recommend wearing or bringing a swimsuit!

Kids must be at least 5 years old to ride in a kayak.
Children 12 and under must ride with a parent.
