PORTAGE LAKES - afternoon paddling
Details
Come out and join us Saturday afternoon for some time on the water! Portage Lakes is a wonderful resource in NE Ohio.
The Portage Lakes are a group of glacial kettle lakes and reservoirs in Northeast Ohio. The name comes from an old Indian portage path that connected the Cuyahoga River flowing north to Lake Erie and the Tuscarawas River, a tributary of the Muskingum River, which flows south to the Ohio River. This proved advantageous for the Indians and early settlers as navigation from Lake Erie to the Ohio was possible with only an eight-mile portage.
Come early to setup, we will plan to begin paddling at 1:30 PM. PFD's must be worn. Bring water & sunscreen as needed. We'll plan to find refreshments in the PLX area afterwards for those who wish to socialize.
NOTE: Longer kayaks (12 foot +) will be helpful as we navigate 8-10 miles of shoreline. Afterwards, we can grab a beer & bite to eat at Upper Deck or Harbor Lighthouse Grill?
