Bowling Green Canoe and Kayak

Meet other locals interested in kayaking, canoeing, conservation and making new friends.

WHAT WE DO...

We meet-up the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the Month.
Trips vary in length and location.
You are expected to provide your own boat, life vest, and transportation.
IF you need to borrow a boat, let me know, and we'll try to work something out.
At the meet-up we will shuttle together to the put-in.
Paddlers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
If you have a great idea for a trip - post it on the message board.
Membership is FREE!
