Because the date for the Greenland Festival changed from June to July,  NICKS LAKE will be our first camping/kayaking weekend of the 2020 paddling season. Our main paddle will be on Saturday, but for those interested, we will also be paddling on Friday and Sunday.  If you do not wish to camp, you are still welcome to join us for the paddle on Saturday.  We will leave the campground after the community breakfast cleanup.  You should be at the campground by 10 AM. 

If you are interested in camping, you will need to make your own campsite reservations through Reserve America Online.  We will be on Loop C.
