An Eventful Town Inaugural RibFest & Chislicfest | June 13
3 p.m. Feeling loosened up and ready for more movement, we said our goodbyes and met Tom Downs at a boat launch at Lake Yankton for a Missouri National Recreational River (MNRR) Kayak Lesson . After going over safety training, we were debriefed on how to get into the kayak and the best way to paddle, including which ways to move and how to turn. The weather was beautiful and made for a calm ride. These clinics are offered free of charge by the National Park Service to help people learn, practice, and feel confident on the water. Sessions are for all skill levels, and are typically held Wednesdays from mid-June through early September. “After instruction, participants get to enjoy a fun time on the water, making it an approachable and memorable way to try something new and experience our waters up close,” said Wagner. Registration is free, but sessions fill up fast. Reservations are encouraged.
