Highlights

Paddle Adventures

A Partnership with the Parks Service

Partnering with state parks to offer activities like kayaking, paddle boarding, and swimming. We focus on creating new experiences and teaching water safety. We help families engage with nature, fostering a relationship with the landscape and encourage future outdoor recreation.

Lowell CDC in collaboration with state parks and other organizations aims to make outdoor recreation more accessible and introduces families to new activities they might not have tried otherwise.

I went to Yosemite for the first time ever and I had an amazing time. The food was good and the waterfalls were breathtaking. I definitely want to take my daughter there and Go again. I love the nature and thank Lowell CDC for being such an awesome pillar in the Lowell community and in Fresno overall!
