Looking for an outdoor option to enjoy the beautiful end-of-summer weather this weekend? Check out this awesome new service and grab your kayak for a paddle down the Black River on Saturday!! 🛶

The Black River is right here. Now getting from point A to point B just got a whole lot easier! 🛶

The Park & Paddle Black River Shuttle is a self-service kayak shuttle running on the Black River Saturday August 29.

This is a transportation service, not a guided experience. No staff will be on the river. No one will be at the launches. Read everything below before you go so you know exactly what to expect.

HOW IT WORKS
1️⃣ Drop your kayak and paddlers at the lower Lyons Falls launch
2️⃣ Drive your vehicle to whichever launch you want to end at — Burdick's Crossing or Glenfield
3️⃣ Catch the shuttle back to Lyons Falls — $10 cash per rider
4️⃣ Meet your group at Lyons Falls, launch, and paddle the Black River back to your car
That's it. Simple as that.

THE ROUTE
🔹 Lyons Falls → Burdick's Crossing - 4.1 miles
🔹 Lyons Falls → Glenfield - 8.6 miles
Choose your distance. Park your car at the end. Paddle back to it.

SHUTTLE TIMES
Shuttles depart Glenfield at 7 AM, 8 AM, and 9 AM, stopping at Burdick's Crossing en route back to Lyons Falls. Pick the time that works for your group and be at your launch ready to board.

COST
$10 per rider - cash only

⚠️ IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU GO ⚠️
This is a transportation service only.
* There are no staff or safety personnel on the river
* There is no supervision of belongings at the Lyons Falls launch - secure all valuables in your vehicle before boarding the shuttle
* Paddle at your own risk - check river conditions ahead of time, wear your PFD, and come fully prepared
* The shuttle will not wait - be at your launch and ready to board at your chosen time if there

DATE:
✅ August 29, 2026
