Choctawhatchee Chapter River Float and Cookout

Come out and enjoy a great day on the river and a cookout with the Choctawhatchee Chapter of the Florida Trail Association.

Let's have a fun time paddling on the Shoal River followed by a cookout. If you're not able to participate in the paddle event, we'd like to invite you to join us at the cookout. Hamburgers and hotdogs will be provided. Everyone is asked to bring a side dish to share. Please list what side dish you're bringing in the comments. (Note: Side dishes can be left at Wallis' place when we do the float shuttle first thing in the morning).

Must provide your own kayak/canoe and plenty of water to stay hydrated.

PLEASE NOTE: Everyone paddling MUST have a wearable type life jacket and everyone is also REQUIRED to have a whistle.

We will meet at the Hwy 85 Wayside Park in Crestview and complete our vehicle shuttle down to the Mayo residence. Then we'll return to Wayside Park and have a fun 4 mile very leisure paddle down to the Mayo residence. After we get all our boats and gear out of the river we'll have our cookout. Anyone who is unable to join us on the float trip please contact Keith or Wallis for directions to the Mayo house for the cookout.

The hosts for this chapter event are Keith LeFevre (850) 612-2231 and Wallis Mayo (850) 585-1985. If you have any questions please feel free to contact them.
