Twilight Paddle

At Chester State Park

BOOK NOW

Experience outdoor adventure like never before on a ranger-guided twilight boat tour of Chester State Park's lake, from the historical boathouse to the new bridge, all that's in between.

The cost for the Twilight Paddle is $20 per participant. You can bring your own kayak, or rent a single or a tandem kayak from the park for an additional $20. This program is intended for ages 16 and up, and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. All participants must know how to swim, be prepared to get wet, and have previous flatwater paddling experience (No first-time paddlers).

The Twilight Paddles will start at 8:00 PM each night, so please plan to arrive at the park by 7:30 PM to get set up. Bring your own headlamps.
