CRACKER CREEK - Spruce Creek Paddle, 1795 Taylor Rd., Port Orange, FL 32128

We will launch from Cracker Creek a Historical site and paddle out and back, on Spruce Creek. (no shuttle). I have arranged for the gate to the property to be opened at 8:30 am. Everyone must check in when arriving to sign a liability waiver and pay a launch fee. (I have negotiated a discount on the launch fee from $8 to $5). We have been given permission to use property facilities, picnic area, etc., if we wish.

Bring wheels to transport your kayak from parking area to launch area. Also bring PFD, whistle, water, snacks, bug spray and sunscreen.
Parking area is outside the gate.

As always, after our paddle we will meet for lunch at a local restaurant.
All are welcome.

AND REMEMBER EARLY IS ON TIME.
