River Rally 2024

REGISTRATION REQUIRED. Visit the registration desk to check your registration.

This field trip will be departing at 9:00 AM on Wednesday, May 15. Please be ready in the lobby of the Eberhard Center at least a few minutes before the departure date so leaders can get an accurate headcount and liability waivers signed before departure.

This is a FULL DAY field trip to Lake Michigan's shoreline including a half-day at Muskegon State Park on a dune hike with freshwater dune experts and local dune protection advocates, and a half-day aboard the W.G. Jackson research vessel. You'll be taking a bus to Muskegon, 45 minutes each way. The dune hike will be on uneven sandy terrain. It may be possible to request assessible roll-out pathways for a portion of the hike if needed. The W.G. Jackson vessel is ADA accessible from the dock: on board, there are sea-doors which are 4-6 inches off the ground that would be difficult to move through with a mobility aid. There is no seating on the vessel: attendees should be okay to stand for about 2 hours.
