May, 6:30-8:30 pm
June/July, 7:00-9:00 pm
August/September, 6:30-8:30 pm

Cost:

$5.00 per person. No fee for those who provide their own boat and equipment. Children 11 years of age and under paddle for free.

If you bring your own equipment please also bring the required safety equipment: Approved PFD, Paddle, Whistle (sound signal), Bailer, Throw Bag (buoyant heaving line).

If you require a canoe please phone Charles at 453-5374 at least a few days before the paddle as there is limited equipment. These outings are two hours long; there is no opportunity for drop-in or out.
