Get ready for a kayaking adventure! This trip promises to be a fantastic blend of fun and relaxation. While the water is typically calm, we’ll have a couple of potentially lively lake crossings.

Make sure to arrive by 9:00 AM sharp, because we’ll hit the water at 9:30 AM to finish up before the busy motorboat crowd rolls in for the afternoon. We’ll launch our kayaks from a cozy private spot on Strawberry Lake, paddle along the gorgeous Huron River, glide across Gallagher Lake, and then make our way back.

Keep in mind that you’ll be paddling at your own risk, so don’t forget to bring your own kayak, paddle, water bottle, and life jacket/PFD. We’ll be a group of 20 kayakers, sharing the journey together! And if you’re feeling social, join us afterward for lunch at Zukey Lake Tavern—perfect for wrapping up a day filled with exploration, beautiful scenery, and some awesome bird watching!

Ready to join the fun? Register on Meetup, and I’ll send you a map and the exact directions to our launch spot. Got questions? Just shoot Bob Tacy an email at [WhyCatBob@Gmail.com](mailto:WhyCatBob@Gmail.com). Can’t wait to see you there!
