For experienced paddlers only. All paddlers must be 18 years or older
We meet at the launch (Vernam Barbadoes Preserve) at 6:30pm and launch the kayaks at 7pm sharp. Note - start time and launch time are 30 minutes earlier in August due to the earlier sunset time. The trip will take approximately 1 to 2 hours (depending on daylight hours) The distance will be a few miles based on the pace of the group (approximately 2-4 miles).
Please note that the gate will be opened at 6:30 and locked at 6:45. Participants can park or lock their bikes inside the gate. (times are 30 mins earlier in August)
Please be sure to familiarize yourself with our General Rules & Regulations for all attendees!
We have a number of single seat and double seat kayaks. The registration process helps us prepare for how many paddlers to expect on a given day so that we can try to have an adequate number of boats, paddles, life jackets & Volunteer Paddle Leaders on hand.
Our Volunteer Paddle Leader's will try to accommodate all requests for attendees who want to have a "single" kayak to themself and for attendees who would like to have a "double" kayak together, but due to the limited number of boats that we have on hand and the popularity of some of our events we cannot guarantee your seating requests will be able to be accommodated.
Please bring water shoes, water safe clothes, sunscreen, a hat and lots of water.
Reminder - We are a volunteer run non-profit! We tend to get very busy on days with great weather, so please also bring some patience along with your water and sunscreen.
Volunteer Paddle Leaders Discretion
The Volunteer Paddle Leader(s) running an event are focused on safety first and have complete discretion as to who meets or doesn't meet these guidelines. Volunteers on-site make all the decisions and they are final.
