• Ever wonder how flat water kayaking works? You can attend the "Flatwater Kayaking Essentials" class 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, July 27, at French Regional Park on Rockford Road in Plymouth. What is it? According to the Three Rivers Park District: "Quietly gliding along the shoreline of Minnesota lakes and rivers in a kayak often gives a paddler a new perspective of freedom. Our hands-on beginner classes are set up to teach paddlers about safety, proper paddling form and paddle strokes. Participants will learn the basics of kayaking from qualified instructors surrounded by the beauty of a nature-based park. All equipment is provided. Reservations are required."
