Mysteries of the Marsh – Colonial Houses Canoe

Join volunteer Diane Diaz Goebes in a paddle and hike to explore Billingsley Manor and Mt. Calvert, two of the oldest homes in Maryland. Although we won’t be able to go inside, we can admire the architecture and enjoy the spectacular views of these historic properties. Participants must be able to paddle a total of about 4 miles. Note that the hikes are short, but fairly steep uphill to the houses. 

The Patuxent River is a relatively slow-moving river, but paddlers must be able to propel the canoe through the water. Participants must be able to:
1. Independently participate in all activities while maintaining an appropriate and safe body position.
2. Manage all personal care and personal mobility independently.
3. Effectively communicate with leaders and other participants.
Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, and wear closed toe shoes that can get wet & muddy. Please arrive 15 minutes before the start time. $20 per person. Registration is required and is limited to 12 participants. Ages 13 and older. Current health guidelines will be required. Registration required.
