The Great Urban Outdoors
I can't tell you the number of times that someone tells me that they missed out on an urban outdoor activity because he or she was not aware of it. Over the last two years we have seen an explosion of healthy outdoor activities sprouting up. There are a number of organizations out there that are contributing to this phenomena, including Riverkeeper... these groups have organized everything from moonlit kayak trips down the Scajaquada Creek to bike rides along the lake.
