Wear your swim suit, water shoes and bring lunch as we are going to explore up the Tilton River to find the elusive water fall. This will require river walking with our kayaks. Lunch on the gravel bar.
Boats: 10’ - Shorter roto mounded boats or best. We will be getting in and out on gravel bars to portage to the waterfall.
If you are doing the full moon paddle the night before there is a few slots open for camping on Private land near Silverlake, WA. Contact Kari for details.
Somewhat faster kayaks, and/or a bit of paddling strength & stamina are recommended for most paddles. Most are not difficult, but time constraints require we will need to at least keep a moderate pace. Feel free to post any questions you may have about this, or message the host directly.

Hosts / organizers on Meetup are unpaid volunteers and claim no special expertise or knowledge. We will paddle as a group but ultimately you are responsible for your own experience, safety and decision-making.
You are responsible for your gear, for safety PFD’s are required to be worn while on the water at all events.
