BYOCK Community Float
August 7, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Attention: The Summer BYOCK Community Float has been postponed to next Monday, August 14, due to the speed of the river current after weekend rains. Please contact the Help Desk with any questions regarding this program &/or registration.
Registration is now closed.
Get together with your community neighbors for an evening float on the Kalamazoo River! Whether you are an avid kayaker or just want to try it out, this event is for you. BYOCK (bring your own canoe or kayak) or borrow a kayak for free through partnership with the Marshall Recreation Department. We’ll gather & launch by the Public Services building at 900 S Marshall Ave, Marshall, MI 49068. The paddle will take about an hour & end at Saylor’s Landing, 12669 15 Mile Rd, Marshall, MI, 49068. If you are bringing your own watercraft, no registration is necessary, but please arrange your own watercraft/people drop-off/pick-up process.
To borrow a kayak, register via the library website. While supplies last, registrants will receive a “Free Kayak Rental” email as confirmation with instructions & next steps. (Kayaks require signed adult permission & should not be reserved for those under 8 years old.) Registration required.
Our programs are free (& very popular)! We often have a waiting list; if you register but can no longer attend, please let us know!
Please note: Watch your email for a response, noting confirmation or waitlist status, within 24-48 hours. If you do not have regular email access, you may contact our Help Desk for assistance with registration.
