Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Let's paddle around Stone Mountain Lake.

We'll put in at the boat ramp and then paddle clockwise around the perimeter of the lake. Highlights will include passing under the quaint, 134-year-old wooden bridge, listed in the "World Guide to Covered Bridges," and floating past the 150-year-old grist mill. 

We will be on flat water, so consistent paddling will be required.  Some experince paddling this distance is recommended.
