Join Cornell in Washington students, Cornell alumni, and friends for a leisurely 3-hour canoe escapade on the Potomac River. Come alone or with a friend — it is not necessary to come with a boat-mate. We’ll go upstream from Georgetown toward Chain Bridge and then reverse course to lunch on Roosevelt Island. Bring your own food/fluids, sunscreen, hat, etc. Swimmers only.

Please note the time and location. We will meet at Thompson Boat Center. Please arrive on time (or before) to ensure availability of boats. We come back by noon.

Dress: Sports/Outdoor
