Event details
Say goodbye to summer with an evening paddle on the waters of Monee Reservoir. Watch the sun set and listen to the natural sounds as it shifts from day into night. Bring your own kayak or we’ll provide everything you need, including a kayak, paddle and personal flotation device. Once off the water, hang by the fire to roast marshmallows and enjoy a beverage of your choice. (BYOB; beer and wine are permitted.)
