Kayak/Canoe Demo Venue Moved

Looking for a kayak or canoe? Want to try it out to see if you like it?

The canoe and kayak demo scheduled for April 11 at Gilligans Island Park has been changed to the lake across from Wal-Mart. (Unfortunately, Camden County Parks was not able to get its insurance settled before our demo date.)

Although the venue will change, the quality of kayaks available to demo and the friendly staff will again be on hand to answer questions. Don't miss the best chance of the year to test paddle a wide range of kayaks, including the area's best selection of composite kayaks.

To find the new location, take I-95 exit 3 in Georgia east. Turn left at the light just before Wal-Mart (Kings Bay Road) and then take the next left. There will be signs out along the road. See map in FILES section.

We will join up with the North Florida Paddlers for the day. Meet at the lake anytime between 10:00 and 3:00, or indicate that you want to carpool when you RSVP. For those carpooling, we will meet at the Gander Mountain parking lot in the River City Marketplace shopping center (airport exit on I-95) at 9:30 a.m. I will bring my two kayaks for you to use, too.

    What kind of shape is the dirt road in? I have a Honda Civic and is kind of low to the ground.

    I don't know, but I'll find out and post the info here. I have a Civic, too; I don't think there is any problem.

    Hi, folks -
    The kayak demo location had to be changed because of insurance problems at Gilligan's Island Park. The new location is decribed above and I put a map in the Files section. Sorry about the change - it was out of our control!
