SMSKN End of Summer PotLuck and Kayak Rodeo

Hi Everyone:
Join fellow paddlers of the Southern Maine Sea Kayaking Network for a day of fun, laughter, and food, while reminiscing about all the fun events you did together this summer, learning a new skill with others in the chilly spring water, or a day/weekend kayaking through picturesque landscapes and hidden coves. Reconnect with new friends and old and build those paddling relationships!

Cost:
The park has a $3 entrance fee for non-residents and $2 for Freeport residents and, of course, camping is also an option.

Where:
Winslow Memorial Park & Campground, Freeport, ME
