See the beautiful fall colors of the wetlands and along the river’s edge.

The event includes: general orientation, basic paddling lesson, 0.5 mile walk to canoes, launching canoes, and paddling. Paddlers can expect to actively paddle for 2 to 2.5 hours. Canoes, paddles, PFD's (life vests), and guides provided.

Washington Women Outdoors Annual Picnic (11 Oct 2026)

Sun, 11 Oct 2026 14:00:00 GMT

WWO Annual Picnic in Rock Creek Park. Take advantage of the location to hike, cycle or walk on traffic-free Beach Drive or on a path in the woods. Something for everyone plus great food and conversation.

Join us for our always fun Annual Anniversary Picnic and help us celebrate another great year. This year, we're holding the event in Rock Creek Park which means you might want to go for a bicycle ride, hike or walk in the park before the picnic. If you’ve never joined us before, this is a great opportunity to meet other women who enjoy the outdoors and learn what WWO is all about. Barbecue and drinks will be provided, but we invite you to bring a salad, side dish or dessert to share. We have reserved a covered pavilion, so this is a rain or shine event.

After you complete your registration, you will receive a confirmation email with additional event details and location.

Please register early. Registration fee includes a WWO string backpack. (You must attend to receive the backpack.)
