This quick kayak adventure is perfect for nature and music lovers alike! Our guided tour down the Fox River is ideal for beginners looking to de-stress after a long day and enjoy an evening of live music.
The paddle itself takes just 30 to 45 minutes, making it a perfect short float to start your night. You’ll enjoy a relaxing trip surrounded by Kane County wildlife, including bald eagles, osprey, deer, beaver, muskrat, great blue heron, egret, kingfisher, and more.
After your float, the fun continues with the soulful sounds of The Fabulous Kings, playing live blues until 9 PM at the Aurora Athletic Club. Local musicians are encouraged to join the jam, so feel free to bring your instruments to play after the float!
Don’t want to paddle? You’re still welcome to enjoy the music—stop by the Aurora Athletic Club for free blues, grab a drink, and bring your friends.
