This is LEVEL 1 EVENT *LEVEL 1: Ideal for a less experienced kayaker (or a more experienced kayaker looking for a slower paced event). This is NOT for someone with no kayaking experience. Mostly calm waters - moderate pace - distances typically 4 - 6 total miles. Any type of kayak is appropriate but we will keep a consistent pace. Sit-On-Tops, inflatables, some small recreational kayaks and fold up kayaks may struggle to keep pace.This is NOT a guided trip - just a bunch of folks gathering to get out on the water for fun.

We would like to be ON THE WATER by 6:30pm. Please arrive with enough time to unload and park for a timely departure. Our safety briefing will be at 6:15pm and we will be on the water by 6:30pm. We will NOT be able to wait for late arrivals.

Plan to be on the water for about 2 hours.

*Please be aware there are no facilities at this location so please plan accordingly!

As always:This is a MeetUp event and you are responsible for your own safety. Life jackets must be fitted properly and WORN at all times.

Part of this paddle WILL be in the dark so be sure to have the CORRECT LIGHTING!. According to SC boating regulations (rule 25) each kayaker is requires to carry a light and DNR is enforcing this and failure to comply may result in a fine of $600.
