Details

Come join us for a little fun at La Due Reservoir and maybe we will see some majestic Bald Eagles!!
Boats of all lengths are welcome and encouraged to join this event. There are no boat rentals available. That means you must bring your own gear to this event.

The Plan:
Kayaking the west side of LaDue Reservoir gives you a very different feel from the east side โ€” wider water, long open views, and quiet meandering shorelines that are especially good in spring when water levels are higher. The west side is also where youโ€™ll find the main public boat ramps and the most convenient access for launching. (see launch info below)

### ๐ŸŒ… What the west side is like

The west arm of LaDue is broader and more open than the east, with long, gentle curves and marshy inlets. A paddler report notes that the southwestern side meanders through areas best explored in spring before lily pads thicken in summer. Wildlife is abundant โ€” beaver, muskrat, and bald eagles are all noted as regular sightings.

Time:
Meet at 1:00pm for launch at 1:30pm.

The Boat Launch:
We will launch from the smaller boat launch on Rt 44. LaDue Reservoir Boat Ramp,
(This is not the main parking area where the little boat rental place used to be)
