Paddle to the Island
Join the staff of Fort Pillow as we paddle to the Fort Pillow Island. We will be meeting at the Chute parking lot at 1:00 p.m. to start our float. This is a rare opportunity to see Cold Creek and the Chute at historically low water levels. Make sure you have some water, bug spray, and an extra set of clothes just in case. While on our float we will talk about the history of the park and see what wildlife is around. There will be a $10 programming fee for adults and $7 for those 12 and under and a 12-person cut off.
