Pinelands Fall Foliage Kayak

**MUST REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND [https://joinoutsiders.com/events](https://joinoutsiders.com/events)** Experience peak fall foliage from the water on this unforgettable kayaking adventure through the vibrant heart of New Jersey's Pinelands.

This 2-hour guided kayak tour puts you front and center for the seasonal transformation of one of the Northeast's most beautiful and biodiverse ecosystems. Expect glassy currents, mirror-still reflections, and the occasional glimpse of turtles sunning on logs, herons lifting off the water, and beaver lodges tucked along the banks as we drift through a forest painted in peak fall brilliance. Whether you're a seasoned paddler or dipping into kayaking for the very first time, this is the perfect way to spend a crisp October day fully immersed in nature's most colorful season. Once we're off the water, we'll warm up with hearty food and cold drinks at a local eatery before cruising back to NYC. **EVENT TIMELINE:** * 10:00 AM: Meet at The Standard Biergarten (Meatpacking) * 10:30 AM: Depart NYC * 12:30 PM: Arrive at the Pinelands and gear up * 1:00 PM: Launch and begin the 2-hour guided paddle down the Mullica River * 3:15 PM: Conclude the tour and head to a local eatery * 7:00 PM (approx.): Return to NYC All times are approximate and may vary depending on group pace and traffic. **WHAT'S INCLUDED:** * Roundtrip transportation from NYC * Kayak rental + safety gear * 2-hour guided fall foliage paddle through the Pinelands * Complimentary beverages on the ride home **WHAT TO BRING:** * Water shoes or sandals (required) * Comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing for a fall day outdoors * Packed lunch and reusable water bottle * Towel and change of clothes (just in case) * Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen * Your love for leaves and a spirit for adventure **IMPORTANT NOTES:** * Proper attire is required for safety.
