Campfires: Blue River Paddle (Corydon)

Event Details

Join us for an excursion through southern Indiana on the Blue River! The Corydon region is loaded with state history, and we’re excited to paddle through the area as we consider the ways that this winding path has influenced naturalists, artists, and other Hoosiers.

Our float will be co-led by a humanities scholar and a naturalist. Along the way, we will stop to read short writings by nature writers. Our float will conclude with a shared meal and discussion around a campfire.

Your ticket price includes a campfire meal, Upland Brewing Co. beers and snacks for the trail, in addition to any entrance or rental fees associated with the journey.
