Events under 'On River Event'

Saturday June 21 - SUNDAY JUNE 22, 2025

More details coming soon. Come celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride month on the Deerfield River!

Why are we doing this? With a history of prejudice, discrimination, and abuse in the outdoors, LGBTQ+ people can be hesitant to engage in new outdoor recreation activities, which contributes to the lack of diversity in the outdoors. This event specifically creates inclusive and affirming spaces for the queer community to explore outdoor recreation opportunities. Facilitating access to river-based activities can build a more inclusive and diverse outdoor movement. The purpose of the day is for LGBTQ+ people and allies to participate in whitewater boating, make friends, and create community and connections to encourage further enjoyment and stewardship of our outdoor world.

This event is for adults 18 and older only unless joining the Experienced Community Paddle and accompanied by a parent or guardian.
