Kayak, Canoe, Paddle Board Manasquan Reservoir… with Georgian Feast

Let’s go and have some paddling fun on one of the more popular paddling sites here in NJ – the Manasquan Reservoir in Howell and, then, enjoy some Georgian (think the Balkans in Europe – not “the South” of the U.S.) comfort food at the Georgian Chef.

Not only is the Manasquan Reservoir good-sized and scenic, it also has a rental facility (click on the preceding link for the reservoir’s Website and scroll down to the “Boat/Kayak Rentals” section).

We’ll meet up at 2:30 PM in the main parking lot near the boat ramp (across from the kayak rental facility). Then, we’ll take half an hour/30 min. for everyone to rent their gear, inflate their inflatable watercraft or otherwise prepare to be in the water and ready to go by 3:00 PM. We’ll do a 2-hour circuit of the reservoir and be back at the boat ramp at 5:00 PM. After this, those of us who would like can head over to the Georgian Chef on Rt. 9 for some refreshment and socializing. We’ll get there by 5:30 or 6:00 PM.

As safety measures, bring a BYD (life vest) and a whistle. Also, please note that this is NOT a training or instructional event for any persons who have never been out in a kayak, canoe or paddle board before. All participants must have some basic knowledge of how to operate whichever watercraft s/he intends to use.
