Flower Moon Paddle

We will meet at the end of SW Hall St. by the Strand Condominiums. Hall Street is a cul-de-sac on a privately owned street where we can unload, and then park wherever we can find a spot. Please be smart about not leaving valuables in your car. Another good kayak loading & parking option is here, along S. Bond St.:

The nearest public restroom is next to Our Spot Coffee House, a few blocks north along the bike path.

I have kayaks, life jackets & paddles available for people who don't have their own, with a requested donation of $30-50 per kayak.

Please be sure to bring a headlamp or hands free flashlight, etc. so that we can be seen in open water in the dark. When gazing at the moon, however, it's nice to be able to turn lights off & enjoy the darkness.

Please dress for the weather and avoid wearing cotton if possible. Also, bringing a change of shoes, socks & pants is always a good idea. Waterproof pants are ideal, and a light jacket is nice to have on hand as the temperatures cool off at night. The water is still relatively cold, so immersion gear is recommended if you have it. Properly fitting life jackets are required.

Poet's Beach has 2 long concrete paths that lead directly down into the water. City lights provide good visibility in the downtown area to start the journey upstream, out to Ross Island and along the island's east side, the safer option for kayakers.
