Mississippi River Rafting: Birding Along the River

Watch the birds along the Mississippi River - from the middle of the river! We'll paddle family-friendly rafts from the Coon Rapids Dam in Brooklyn Park to the Kroening Interpretive Center in Minneapolis. Bird-loving naturalists will help to search for Herons, Orioles and Osprey. We'll stop on islands to look for many other birds that use the river corridor as their home, play a little bird bingo, and do other fun activities. Shuttle and snacks provided. Bring binoculars, water bottles and a lunch. Wear shoes that can get wet. No paddling experience necessary but some paddling and lifting is required. Reservations required by Aug. 16.
