Join the Friends of Seven Islands State Birding Park for brunch as we cruise upriver on the Star of Knoxville paddlewheel riverboat to the beginning of the Tennessee River. During brunch, you’ll learn about the Tennessee River from Kim Trevathan who has paddled all 652 miles of the river twice, wild birds of prey from Dr. Robyn Miller with American Eagle Foundation, and the Wild Yards Garden’s connection to birds from Park Ranger Clare Datillo. While cruising, expert birders will help you discover shorebirds along the river. We sail rain or shine!

Brunch consists of a plated meal with Honey Ham, Baked Chicken, Quiche, Dressing and Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Broccoli Salad, Danishes and Rolls, and nonalcoholic beverages. Cash bar also available.
