Itinerary:

Please join us for a morning paddle on the river, beginning at Azalea Drive. We will be going at a moderate pace to explore and enjoy our morning. We will also find a spot to stop on the water to eat our snacks/lunch.

This will be an 7 mile paddle on mostly flat water.  We will be going downstream and upstream, but there is, typically, not much of a current on the way back up.  So, this paddle is suitable for beginners, but remember, you will be paddling the entire trip.

Here is the approximate route that we plan to paddle:

Kayak or canoe - (sit in kayaks preferred for flat water)

PFD

Whistle

Emergency change of clothes and towel in hatch
