Paddle Beaver Lake at Sunset with Hobbs State Park

This event has already happened. It took place on October 9, 2026. See what's coming up instead

The water goes still as the light turns gold over Beaver Lake, and you’re right in the middle of it, paddle in hand, with a park interpreter close by to keep you on course. Screens stay behind, replaced by open water and a sunset that takes its time.
