Canoemobile Voyage on the Lagoon
Thank you to everyone who joined
Brown Faces Green Spaces for the final event of our 8th Summer season! Our sunset Canoemobile Voyage changed our local waterways into a place of recreation, learning, community-building, and fun as paddlers sailed the Marquette Lagoon in a 24-foot Voyageur Canoe during this annual event to learn about the science, history, geography, and culture of the Calumet River in Northwest Indiana!
