Join Us for Beyond the Shore: Family Paddle Series

Black Kids Adventures and Forest Paddle Boarding invite you to experience the Tennessee River like never before with our Beyond the Shore: Family Paddle Series. Just five minutes from Ditto Landing, this summer-long series is all about building confidence, having fun, and creating unforgettable memories on the water.

We’ll start with SUP basics and progress to guided adventures—paddling out to the Butler Basin Lighthouse and soaking in stunning sunset views. These are active paddle experiences designed for a variety of ages and skill levels. Paddle time varies based on individual pace and comfort.
