OCCOQUAN, Va. — The Mayor of Occoquan wants area families to get into the paddling business.
Town Mayor Earnie Porta announced “Mayor’s Paddles,” a yearly kayaking tour hosted by Occoquan Regional Park, will take place at the park on 9751 Ox Road just across the Occoquan River in Fairfax County, every first and third Saturday of the month.
The kayak tours, which run from April 7 until mid-fall, start at 11 a.m. and aim to provide families with a memorable tour of historic Occoquan, all from the perspective of the Occoquan River.
Those who are already well versed in the history of Occoquan also have the option to rent kayaks for $10, or you can bring your own kayak plus a launching fee, and then join in on any tours that are going on, or head out on your own and explore the river.
