Join Ijams naturalists for this 2-hour, guided paddle to uncover the secrets of the Tennessee River while searching for unique plants, animals, and geologic features along the way. All participants MUST complete an Assumption of Risk Form (only once in a calendar year) prior to participation in a program: ijams.org/adventure-liability-release If you have already filled out a waiver for another Ijams Education program this year, there is no need to fill out another one. Kayaks, PFDs, and headlamps are provided. While participants are welcome to bring their own PFD, kayak paddle, or headlamps, we ask that they DO NOT bring their own kayak. Please wear weather-appropriate clothing, bring water, and come prepared for changing weather conditions. Ages: This program is designed for ages 14+. All participants under the age of 18 MUST be accompanied by an adult. Location: This program meets at the boat dock at Ijams River Landing. Parking is available at Ijams River Landing - do NOT park at Meads Quarry or the main Visitor Center. Vehicle access to Ijams River Landing road is located between the main Visitor Center and Meads Quarry. Turn onto the gravel road and follow it to its end to encounter parking for this program and the Ijams boat dock. Accessibility: Ijams Nature Center's kayak launch and dock contain accessible elements to help those with mobility and access challenges get out on the water. The dock, launch, and approach do not, however, meet ADA requirements for a truly accessible dock. If you or someone in your party requires accessibility accommodations, please reach out to the Public Programs team at publicprograms@ijams.org to discuss options before purchasing tickets. Parking: Parking for this Ijams Education Course is free for all participants. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the course begins to obtain a free parking pass upon check-in at Ijams River Landing.
