Up Blue Creek with a Paddle
Kayaking is one of the most popular water activities, and one of the easiest to learn. Take your first steps (well, first paddles) in learning how to kayak at one of the Metroparks’ Try It! classes this month, at the former Nona France Quarry at Blue Creek Metropark. Each one-hour course includes instruction and beginner-friendly activities for the novice kayaker. For adults and children 8 and up. $12. Sunday, June 5, 12:30-1:30pm. Friday, June 24, 7:30-8:30pm and 9-10:15pm. For more information, visit metroparkstoledo.org.
