Register on Eventbrite to rent either a single or tandem kayak with the Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area, free of charge . If registering for a tandem kayak, please be sure to bring a friend or family member to kayak with you, as the boats are too large to maneuver alone. Kayak reservations are limited. If you register for a kayak and will be unable to attend, please cancel your registration at least 48 hours in advance so someone else may sign up! All kayakers must know how to swim and minors must be accompanied by an adult. For more information on free kayaking events, follow @muscleshoalsnha on Facebook and Instagram.

To reserve a spot on Keep The Tennessee River Beautiful's boat, sign up here.
