Paddle the Lake – Tygart Lake State Park - September 26, 2026

September 26 @ 10:00 am

National Public Lands Day is a collective act of care that strengthens our connection to the landscape and to each other. Through service and celebration, we acknowledge our place as custodians of these shared treasures, ensuring the American tradition of public lands endures for those who will inherit them. This year, there’s even more reason to show up. National Public Lands Day (NPLD) falls during a landmark year as America celebrates its 250th anniversary. What better way to mark the occasion than by giving back to the public lands we all share.

Bring your own watercraft (kayak, canoe, or paddleboard) for a Naturalist led float trip to Tygart Dam and back. Paddlers should meet at the Marina Launch Ramp #1. This trip will last approximately two hours.

For more information, please contact Tygart Lake State Park naturalist, Jacob Jackson at (304) 265-6148.
