Hackensack river paddle!

PLEASE READ TO THE END BEFORE SIGNING UP!

Please get there early to be ready to be in the water at 11:30 am. The Hackensack resembles a bayou more than a river and has been known to be teaming with large snapping turtles, fish mating near the surface and lots of birds.

All kayaks over 12', canoes, surfski's welcome. This paddle is suitable for beginners. We will paddle thru a quiet marshy area. You should know how to assist & be assisted in a rescue.

Please DO NOT BLOCK THE LAUNCH SITE unload your boat quickly, and park in the street on both sides, then you can carry/organize your gear and change into your appropriate clothes - dry/wet suits, skins. Dress for immersion not the air temps, pack a change of clothes in a dry bag, with a polar fleece jacket. Bring lunch, snacks, water and whatever you need to be comfortable for a day trip. PFD's MUST be worn at all times.

Please leave your pets at home.

Please only sign up if you are definitely attending. Those that don't show w/o canceling in advance will be put on a waitlist for future events.

You must sign a waiver if this is your 1st paddle of the year with us.
