About this event
Join us at Glen Foerd for open boating! We’ll have canoes, rowboats, and kayaks for guests to explore parts of the Poquessing Creek and Delaware River. This activity is open to all ages, though be prepared for summer temperatures and moderate physical exertion. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Getting in and out of your boat can be a wet and muddy experience. Please wear appropriate clothing and consider bringing something to change into after the activity. Don’t forget your water, snacks, and sunscreen! This is a free walk-up, first-come, first-served event. Boat space is limited. Glen Foerd staff will do our best to ensure that as many people as possible get out on the water, but we cannot make any guarantees. The meeting point for this event will be behind the Carriage House. If you have any questions, please contact our Environmental Program Manager, Robert DiTomasso, at rditomasso@glenfoerd.org or 215-632-5330 x14 Waivers will be filled out on-site the day of the event, but participants may view the waiver here.
