Join us for an easy morning paddle around Boardman Lake! This paddle is designed to help lesser experienced paddlers become more comfortable in their basic paddling skills. We will launch from Hull Park and circumnavigate the Lake. There is no shuttle involved with this paddle, but due to limited parking, vehicles may need to be relocated a short distance from the launch site after unloading. Carpooling is always encouraged! Please note there is a Paddle for Pints Event at 10:30 a.m. this same day, so please arrive on time and be ready to launch promptly at 9:30 a.m. to avoid congestion at the launch.
