# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Snorkeling on the New River!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: June 17, 2026. 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

While most of the adventure on the New River takes place above the water, there is no shortage of things to see below the water!

With a snorkel and/or mask, swimmers can see wildlife, driftwood, odd-shaped rocks and stones, and more. A ranger will be available to guide participants on how to use a snorkel and where to explore. The river water is teeming with a variety of aquatic life including mussels, crayfish, numerous fish species, and macro-invertebrates.

Snorkels and under-water viewing equipment will be provided. We do not have wetsuits or water shoes. Please wear a bathing-suit and bring a change of clothes. Closed-toe footwear that can get wet and a life jacket are recommended.

All participants under 15 years old must be supervised by an adult at all times. No registration is required.

Rain stirs up the river bottom and makes viewing underwater difficult and increases river flow rates. If conditions aren't safe the program will be cancelled. Please check the website for any cancellations.

Meeting place: along the river behind the Discovery Center in the historic village of Foster Falls.
