National Canoe Day
June 26, 2021 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
West Virginia’s state parks and forests are a great place to enjoy a day out on the water. We have guests who bring their own boats, but we also have an affordable selection of canoes and kayaks available to rent if you don’t have one of your own. The Beech Fork Creek group paddle will start at 4:30 p.m. and participants should meet at the Beech Fork State Park boat launch by 4 p.m. to catch a shuttle to the start site.
The Beech Fork trip is approximately three miles and will last about two hours. Wildlife and special habitats will be observed along the way. Paddlers should wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and sunscreen. Guests may bring a canoe and kayak of their own or rent one at the park.
Pre-registration for the Beech Fork event is recommended to assure room on the shuttle. Participants should sign up at Beech Fork State Park headquarters by calling 304-528-5794 or by sending an email to beechforksp@wv.gov.
