A moonlight paddle Grand River offers the opportunity to enjoy a river at night. There is something mystical drifting through the fog of silence in a moon lit the road from the water. People are amazed at how well they can see. And his sense of sound increases acutely. There is something different and experiment looming darkness.

With the night on a river that is an amazing world of the activity. There are fish that feed in the dark splashes. There are the lines of undulation of the swimming beaver and the explosion of the tail … the hiss of startled deer … gasp of the dinosaur hunting herons costs. Then there's the endless chorus of crickets, frogs and toads, creating a symphony of the night. But best is the howling of the coyotes howl and owls echoed through the halls of the valley.
