Paddle Phillippi Creek to Edwards Islands
Details
This is a slow, relaxed paddle of approximately 4 miles distance aimed to avoid the heat of the day. Plan to arrive 30 minutes early so you can be paddle rerady at 8:30. It's a two-minute walk to the launch area from the parking lot.
NO RENTALS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS EVENT.
Launching promptly at 8:30 am we'll paddle up Phillippi Creek to Roberts Bay and then head towards the spoil islands in the bay. Passing by Skier's Island aka McDonalds's Island, we'll make our way to Big Edwards' Island where we'll tke a break before returning to the launch area. On the return we'll take some shortcuts.
These islands and others are spoil islands that were created in the early 1960s when the Intra coastal Waterway (ICW) was dredged and created.
I need a minimum of 5 attendees for this group. Less than that and I'll probably cancel it.
BRING: Kayak/SUP, PFD/whistle (required by law), water, sunscreen, snack, etc. whatever you need to be comfortable.
