Summer is coming to a close; get your boat tour on the calendar now!

We have engaged over 20,000 participants with our boat tours since 2015, and it is our mission to connect residents of the Anacostia watershed to their river. We are currently able to supply a limited number of free private tours. If you are unable to fund a private boat tour for your community group or class, please tell us more about your cause in the form below!
