Paddle, Sweat, and Explore the Wolf River Greenway!

Wolf River Conservancy is spearhearding the Wolf River Greenway project, which when complete will connect 22 Memphis neighborhoods with over 853 acres of green space between Downtown and Germantown, alongside the walkable and bikeable 26-mile paved trail.

This year, Wolf River Conservancy is excited to present three outside opportunities for the public to connect with the Wolf River Greenway:

Paddle the Greenway:

Every other Saturday, 9 am–12 pm, June 12 through October 16, community members can sign up for a FREE 1-hour canoe or kayak session on Epping Way Lake along the Wolf River Greenway. (After a positive trial last summer, we’re bringing it back!)

Sweat the Greenway:

Every Saturday, 9 am–12 pm, June 5 through October 16, community members can sign up for a FREE 1-hour fitness class (like Yoga, Zumba, etc.) at a green space along the Wolf River Greenway, including Mud Island (1320 N. Mud Island Rd.), Epping Way (2630 Epping Way Dr.), and Kennedy Park (4332 Raleigh LaGrange Rd).

Explore the Greenway:

Every Saturday at 10:30 am, June 5 through October 16, community members can sign up for a FREE nature walk along sections of the Wolf River Greenway. Locations: Wolf River Greenway at Epping Way and Wolf River Greenway at Kennedy Park.

The Wolf River Conservancy (a 501c(3) non-profit, land trust organization) is dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the Wolf River and its watershed as a sustainable resource. Since 1985, the organization has worked with landowners to protect 18,000 acres (so far) in the Wolf River Watershed.
