These trips are mellow, informal, easy leisure paddles on local lakes. They are a good place to get to know fellow paddlers. We paddle for 1 – 1 ½ hours on local lakes. Bring your boat, life jacket, and paddle. These trips welcome but do not require sea-kayaks. Canoes, recreational kayaks, etc. are welcome. These trips will cancel for rain or high winds. Typically, some of the participants will go out for dinner or drinks afterwards. Starting time is 6pm.
