| Dogfish Head Brewings and Eats, Lewes Cycle Sports and Quest Fitness partnered recently to promote healthy recreation and raise funds for the Friends of Cape Henlopen State Park organization.
Dogfish Head took the lead in the initiative which included a kayak trip from the Canalfront Park in Lewes to Rehoboth Beach, lunch at Dogfish Head’s Rehoboth Beach restaurant and then a return trip to Lewes on bicycles provided by Lewes Cycle Sports via the Junction and Breakwater Trail.
The trip represented the first organized kayak trip from the launching ramp at the Canalfront Park underwritten by the brewing company.
The kayakers carried the current of a rising tide toward Rehoboth Beach and also enjoyed a northwest wind at their backs.
Quest Fitness provided 40 kayaks for the adventure, which drew people from the local area and as far away as New York City. Many of them are shown here in the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal after passing beneath the Savannah Road drawbridge in Lewes.
The trip raised several hundred dollars for the friends group. The groups said they hope to sponsor more paddles, pedals and pints events.
