Fun Time Kayaking & Paddle Boarding at Chatfield Reservoir - Gravel Pond

Hello Fun Ladies!!!
Let's enjoy a fun day Kayaking and Paddle Boarding at the Chatfield Reservoir Gravel Pond on Tuesday, May 27th with a meet and greet at 9:00 am. We will meet right before the fence where the rental building/trailer is (It is all the way down at the end of the parking lot). Then at 9:15 am renters will walk on over to the rental building/trailer to sign papers and get our rentals.

Ladies that have your own Kayak or SUP just meet us on the water by 9:30 am just right in front of the rental place. I am pretty sure you cannot bring your boards/kayaks past the fence of the rental place so just put your vessels in the side where everyone else is putting them in at and head down to where the rentals are in your vessel.

If you are renting, rent for the 9:30 slot for two hours. This would include a life jacket, paddles and your vessel and if needed you can rent a dry bag for your phone or your "stuff". The quicker you reserve the better chance you have of getting a kayak. They have an endless amounts of Paddle Boards and a limited amounts of single Kayaks. Last year they had only 2 single kayaks and 2 tandem kayaks. It LOOKs like they have added 2 more single kayaks so now good pobababity that they have 4 single kayaks (and 2 tandems) for this year, but not sure. Please go to 5280 Paddle Sports to reserve your kayak or paddle board if needed. If they run out of kayaks you can rent a paddle board. You can also rent a tandem Kayak for two people which would also be cheaper per person than a single.

You will need a day pass which costs $10 (that is what is was last year, could be higher) to enter the park. (Unless you have a yearly pass already).

If you have never kayaked before you will do great. Now, paddle boarding takes a little more skill but you could always just sit or kneel on it and I think you would be fine.

It is a good idea to bring a hat, a sun screened body, and to dress in layers. So bathing suits, shorts, fast dry tops and/or bottoms etc. So wear what ever you want.

Bottled water and snacks are also good ideas to bring and shoes that you don't mind getting wet. Dry bags and Phone dry bags are available to rent also.

***Do send me your cell number if you know I don't have it yet (then I will send you mine) and also let me know if you are renting or if you are bringing your own vessel and what vessel - Kayak or SUP (It will ask these questions when you RSVP). Thanks!! ***

Let me know if you have any questions!! ❓
