Season has Begun!


Let’s go Canoeing!
We invite you to join us on one of our scenic paddles. Get away from the stress of everyday city life, and see a wildlife oasis in the middle of a bustling city. Aerial view of several paddlers canoeing Pigeon Creek. Learn about aquatic ecology and local waterway habitats for fish, waterfowl, and mammals. Or just have a great time in a safe boating experience with one of our certified canoe guides. Whatever your interest, we have a trip option that best fits you or you or your group’s needs!

For a list of upcoming scheduled canoe trips and descriptions of these programs, visit our Canoe Evansville Public Programs page. Or if you would like to book a private trip for your group or organization, please call (812) 479-0771 ext. 105.

Our next Moonlight Paddles are scheduled for Saturday, June 6 to Hovey Lake and Sunday, June 7 to Blue Grass Fish & WIldlife Area. Both trips are scheduled for 5 p.m. and last about 3 hours. The cost is $15 per person. Call (812) 479-0771 ext. 105 to reserve your spot!

We've got it covered! Canoe Evansville provides the canoes, paddles, life vests, transportation, and safety certified canoe guides.
