Canyon Lake

I'll be back in town so let's paddle! On Sunday we will paddle Canyon Lake. We'll explore the side channels on the near shore.

WHAT TO BRING:
a kayak or paddle board and paddles, obviously
life jacket
snacks and drinks
sunglasses
hat
sunscreen

PARKING:
You will need either a Tonto pass or a National Parks pass to park at the Boulder Recreation Site. You will need to buy a pass in advance. The cost is $8 - $12 for a Tonto day pass.

HOW TO FIND US:
We will meet at the Boulder Recreation site. Park in the first lot on the left and take the dirt trail that goes straight down to the beach. I'll be easy to spot; I have the kayak flying the pirate flag.

PADDLE CRAFT:
Paddle boards, hard-shell kayaks, or high-quality inflatables (no Intex).

REMEMBER:
The AZ sun is strong and the reflection off the water makes it more so. Use plenty of sunscreen, reapply during the trip, don't forget to cover the tops of your feet and your ears and every other exposed surface. Wear a hat and sunglasses. Drink lots of fluids. If you are going to consume alcohol, drink responsibly.

DISCLAIMER:
Please note that neither myself, nor any other trip leaders are professional tour guides, nor do we have any special training in first aid or rescue. You are entirely responsible for your own safety.

PLEASE BE ON TIME, as we don't wait too long for stragglers. If you need to inflate, get there early so you are ready to go at 7:00 am.
