An
annual event since 2003, Kanoe the Kazoo has introduced over 1,000
area citizens to the beauty and recreational opportunities provided
by the Kalamazoo River and its tributary streams and lakes. As
we go to press, this year eight organizations are offering floats
on various stretches of the Kalamazoo River, its tributaries and
lakes within the watershed.
Pre-registration is required. Trips are on
the Kalamazoo River unless otherwise noted. All trips include
some instruction on stream and riparian ecology and watershed management. Click
dates below for additional information on each float.
