Geode Paddle Bentonsport to Bonaparte

August 7, 2026
10:00 am

Geodes are nature’s treasure chest! Participants will be paddling this beautiful stretch of river between stops on the sandbars as we search for geodes. Participants will learn about the geology of the river, why we can find geodes in that particular stretch of river, and how geodes form. The paddle is open to everyone, however children under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Paddle registration is limited to 10 boats. Van Buren County Conservation has several canoes which participants may pre-register to borrow.
