This is a simple trip suitable for beginners and up.
There is no restroom, just 2 porta potty, although I heard a rumor you can use the bathroom in the building.
Parking is easy but costs $5 CASH. (they now offer online purchase by credit card on the website above, buy before you get there as there is no cell service there.) There is a wide grass area we launch from between the boat ramp and a small building. It is quiet and pretty. I went 6.5 miles and ran the perimeter of the lake.
We should be back around 12:30. If folks are interested afterwards we can grab a meal in Cartersville or Cuming about 10 mi away in opposite directions.
You should make sure you bring drinking water and perhaps a snack. A PFD is required to be in your boat or on you.
If you have no boat, I have 2 spare kayaks. I will let you use one if you help me load up at 8:30 at my house in East Cobb and unload after the event. Please comment in this event to say you would like to borrow one and I will contact you.
Looking forward to meeting you

All of my paddles are deep water, no rapids. We pull out where we put in.
Level 1 - Simple relaxation, no current
Level 2 - Moderate current, this is a workout
Level 3 - Significant current, this is a serious workout.
