Paddle Pinewood & Potluck

Come celebrate the 4th of July with a paddle and a potluck at Pinewood Reservoir. Three hundred and twenty-seven acres of public lands encircle this idyllic 100-acre reservoir. Kayaking, camping and fishing make it the ideal place for a little fun in the mountains without driving too far. Motorized watercraft are not allowed on the reservoir.

We'll paddle around the reservoir for a couple hours before cooking and breaking out the food. The typical grills you find at campsites can be found at the reservoir, or you can bring your own if you wanted to cook there.

THINGS TO BRING:

• watercraft (SUP, kayak, etc)
• water wicking clothing and/or swimsuit
• water
• hat
• sunglasses
• sunscreen
• side dish (I'll provide the main. Please see "Potluck" thread in comments to see what people are bringing or add if you have any food allergies.)
