Keep Belle Isle Beautiful – One Paddle At A Time
In our part to Keep Belle Isle Beautiful, Riverside Kayak Connection is partnering with the State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Belle Isle Conservancy to coordinate Detroit River and Canal Clean Ups on Belle Isle Park. We know many of our paddling friends love Belle Isle as much as we do and also want to help keep our waterways clean. This is a great opportunity to get together with other paddlers and make a difference.
