This is not a trip for beginners since there can be some chop on the lake if it is breezy. We will meet at 1:00 PM at Chimney Bluffs State Park entrance and then proceed to the launch site. Be sure to bring your spray skirt along with lunch or snacks. Please be sure that you are properly dressed for the paddle and have all appropriate equipment. You may also want to bring hiking shoes if you wish to climb the bluffs.
Note: We typically stop half way through the paddle for a break. Feel free to bring something to snack on. Also, be sure to note the weather conditions by clicking the "Local Weather Forecast" button, and check the website for last minute changes or cancellations.
