Itinerary:

Join us for a leisurely 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 (spring/summer months only).  We will be exploring the lake and venturing into a couple of different coves by Gold Branch.  We are going to take our time and just enjoy the morning.  

This will be an in and out paddle . . . no shuttle.  Bring a canoe cart if you have one, because the path to get to the dock to launch our boats is a long one.
