Join us for a unique on-the-water experience that invites you to explore the future of the Patapsco River while canoeing its scenic stretch near Daniels Dam. Guided by a representative from American Rivers, a national nonprofit dedicated to protecting and restoring rivers, this paddle offers an engaging opportunity to connect with nature and learn about the Daniels Dam Feasibility Study.
As we paddle, you’ll learn about the broader Patapsco River Restoration Project, which has already removed three outdated dams, resulting in healthier ecosystems, improved safety, and economic benefits for nearby communities. This stretch of the river is now home to more abundant wildlife and offers safer recreation for all who enjoy Patapsco Valley State Park.
Throughout the paddle, your guides will lead informal conversations about river restoration, dam safety, and what’s at stake for the Patapsco’s future. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions, share your thoughts, and learn how you can get involved in shaping what comes next.
