Itinerary:

Join us for a Saturday morning paddle at Bull Sluice Lake. The park at Morgan Falls is incredibly scenic, family friendly, and fun.  There is a playground on artificial turf, short paths to walk your dog, clean restrooms, and a place to rent kayaks, canoes, or paddle boards.  We will be exploring the lake, venturing into a couple of different coves, and looking for the heron nests by the dam.  We are estimating the distance to be approximately 8 miles, so this paddle is for intermediate paddlers only.  There is virtually no current, so it is important to note that you will be paddling for the entire duration of the event.
