Kayaking on the Occoquan River is a leisurely pastime. You won't find any whitewater or rapids like you will a Great Falls Park about 20 miles north. However you will get a chance to watch the Osprey overhead and relax at the end of a long day. Come join the kickoff event at Occoquan Regional Park on Saturday September 4th, 2010.

Do they have anything other than a Kayak to rent? I'm afraid I would tip it over. I need more surface touching the water for my wobbly body.
You can come with me. I have my water rescue certificate. Oh wait on second thought you might want to sit on the shore and laugh at me instead :-)
Sounds like a wonderful way to spend a hot, hazy day.
Susan-I've done most of my local kayaking out of Pohick Park so it will be nice to have something closer to home.
I know you love to kayak so this will be an easy spot for your to launch on the Occoquan River.
I'll be out there before the season is over.
You are in a wonderful location to enojy kayaking into fall. This sounds like a fantastic place, Cindy. The rental rates are quite reasonable.
Kathryn they are reasonable. We launch out own kayaks from a spot across the Occoquan River now but it isn't the easiest place to get in the water. I'm looking forward to trying out the new spot.
