About this event
Event Description
We will introduce ourselves and have a brief talk about safety before we launch our kayaks. This flatware paddle is ideal for novice paddlers using their recreational or sit on top kayak or canoe (or even a reliable inflatable kayak). If you have done some paddling and would like to go out with a group for some slow exploring this is for you! We hope to see some flora and fauna while working a little on our skills. This 1.5 to 2 hr paddle will be on Mud Creek and will not involve any portaging. Please wear non-cotton clothing and water shoes.
