Itinerary:

Come join us for a paddle around Stone Mountain Lake.  We will begin by paddling clockwise around the perimeter of the lake.  We will paddle to a small waterfall, continue under the wooden bridge, and glide past the grist mill.  Then, we will head over to the 732-bell Carillon and the old paddle wheel boat, where we will stop for approximately 15 minutes to have our snacks.   After our snacks, we will continue around the lake and explore a small cove on our way back to the boat ramp.

This paddle is suitable for beginners, but remember that it is flat water, so consistent paddling will be required.  

Here is a map indicating the approximate route we plan to paddle.
