Group Walks & Activities

In order to help participants stay active throughout the program, there are weekly walks – lead by a guide – in Ottawa County Parks! To encourage participants to discover new recreational activities, the program also offers opportunities to try kayaking and canoeing. These activities and necessary equipment are free-of-charge to registered participants.
