About this event

Come join us for a morning trip on the Boardman, only 30 minutes from downtown TC. You will marvel at the remote feeling you get without going very far from home.    
 
We will meet at the Forks Access at 9.30-9.45 aiming to run the shuttle at 10.00. We'll take a short break for a stretch and a snack at the horse beach, and proceed downstream through the new section of the river that has replaced Brown Bridge Pond.
 
There are several fun riffles along the way.  It's a good place to practice maneuvering in current and practicing back ferries.

Paddling time should be about 3 hours. Bring your usual paddling gear, ropes for the bow and stern, a water bottle and a snack.

Since there is no limit on capacity, be aware that if you are the 8th or more person to sign up I will need for you to be willing to help with the shuttle. Contact Jacqui if that would be a problem.
