About the group

Organizer(s)

Shelley Austin, Steve Griffiths

Our goal is to paddle every other Tuesday weather permitting, with Thursday being ‘rain date’.  We will paddle starting late May through end of September. 

This is a ‘casual to experienced’ level of kayaking & canoeing where we will stop to eat lunch and if the mood takes us, swim. Paddlers should be able to swim 50 meters. You must have your own equipment. Some paddles will be classified as easy while others will be more advanced, for more experienced paddlers. The water we paddle is moderate and the outings are between 3 – 4 hours in length (dependent on location). Paddlers will be sent a notification email the week before with directions and details.
