Happy Hour and Sunset Paddle

On Monday's Happy-hour at the Horsetooth Tavern is half price wine. They also serve appetizers. Sit, sip, kibitz, and eat before heading to the water and the sunset paddle light shows.

We depart from the Inlet Bay Boat Ramp at 7:30PM. Please arrive early enough have your kayak/paddleboard/canoe ready to go. The boat ramp is just past the Inspection Station and parking starts just past the ramp.

I have small red lights to make every boat in the group easily seen in the darkness. Some of us will have bigger, brighter, and flashing lights to announce our presence to the world. We will stick to Inlet Bay. It is a NO WAKE area. While the boats still move after dark, they are few, traveling very slowly, we can see them, and more importantly they can see us.

Please bring your own lantern, headlamp, flashlight for use at the boat ramp. It will be dark when we land. Please refrain from using them when on the water. It lessons the light shows--sunset, hillside homes, the marina, and shoreside campfires.

Expect temperatures to drop quickly. On the last paddle, some brought towels and the kayakers used them over their legs to stay warmer. An extra top layer is also a good idea. A trash bag will work, a dry bag is better to keep towel and other clothes dry.

Parking in the Inlet Bay Marina parking lot requires a Larimer County Park Pass.
