Big Muddy & Friends
We're excited to announce the return of our wildly popular Big Muddy and Friends, a collaborative dinner and #rivertime experience with our local farmer, grower, maker, hospitality, and musician friends!
The overwhelming support you’ve shown for our Full Moon Floats and Rivertime Supper Club trips showed us that we needed to give you all more opportunities to dine and get some #rivertime with us. What better chance to highlight some of our favorite local friends while also showing you some beautiful stretches of river and secret spots that we don't typically visit on our regularly scheduled trips! In this limited series of dinner and paddle trips, we're looking forward to bringing along a range of local hospitality specialists to create a unique dinner and rivertime experience for you!
