About Boat Day
Boat Day is an annual partner event to introduce safe paddling and recreational opportunities to local citizens. Each year, the last Saturday of June is reserved for our annual Boat Day for local citizens. The event is co-hosted with the City of Murfreesboro’s Parks and Recreation Department and the Stones River Watershed Association.  We want to encourage citizens to get to know your river and learn how to be safe, while learning paddling techniques and trying different styles of boats. A variety of boats and personal floatation devices are provided. Staff and volunteers will be on-hand to assist and answer questions. Just bring yourself and a smile and be prepared to enjoy yourself!
 
Water quality is also important for healthy streams. Booths will also be onsite to share educational information about our local Stones River and the streams that flow into it. Educational materials are provided to encourage citizens to help protect our streams and their wildlife with easy-actions to prevent pollution. Please join us at this fun and family-friendly event. Learn, Paddle, Have Fun!
