SUMMARY:Paddle with a Ranger\, City Route (Heron Rookery) | North Mississippi Regional Park - Minneapolis
DESCRIPTION:City Route (Heron Rookery) Dates:\n5:30 Start Time\nArrival Time: 5:10-5:15pm | Program Time: 5:30-7:30pm\nAugust 26 | September 2 \n*Please arrive 15-20 minutes prior to your program time to ensure parking and a safety talk. \nEvent Overview:\nKayak down the Mississippi River with a National Park Service ranger as your guide! Enjoy your urban national park and America’s greatest river from a new perspective. Participants start their four-mile paddle from the Carl W. Kroening Nature Center (North Mississippi Regional Park). Along the route\, you’ll view the site of the future Upper Harbor Terminal Redevelopment Project and see great blue herons nesting on their island rookery before landing at Graco Park. Nesting birds at the rookery typically leave around late July. \nImportant Information:\n\n\nYou must manage your own transportation. The paddle BEGINS at North Mississippi Regional Park and ENDS at Graco Park. We recommend bringing a friend and two cars: park one car at Graco Park and drive together to the Carl W.
