Conner Creek to host Detroit River kayaking tours

Hey, East Side Model D readers — we’ve got the lead on a summer outing just for you. Residents of these East Side zip codes — 48205, 48207, 48211, 48213, 48214, 48215, 48224, and 48234 — are eligible to participate in a day of kayaking along the Detroit River. The kayak adventure is presented by the Conner Creek Greenway, a project put on by the Detroit Eastside Community Collaborative. For only $5 a head, paddlers will explore both the Detroit Rive, the Fisher Mansion and the numerous canals along the waterfront.

Two tours will embark on Aug. 13 from Maheras Gentry Park where Conner meets the river at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. We can’t think of a better way to enjoy the city’s natural splendor (while keeping cool!).
