SUNSET DOG PADDLE at Simpson Lake...LAUNCH FROM BOAT RAMP, NOT BEACH

Details

FRIDAY SUNSET PADDLES ARE BACK!

Join us for a leisurely paddle on Simpson Lake. Around the lake and up the creek, hopefully. It's a good, safe, easy paddle. About 3 miles.

B.Y.O.BOAT, no rentals.

DOGS are welcome. Must wear life jacket at all times. Keep the leash on when you're on land. DO NOT use leash on the water. If you really need a leash, get a short (4'-6' max) one that floats, so it doesn't get tangled in your dog's legs or snag on a tree. if they fall/jump in. NEVER tether your dog to kayak!

Humans must have PFD on board. It's a state law. They work better if you wear them!

We'll launch from the BOAT RAMP this year. Too crazy at the beach, and all of that sand is so annoying in your kayak and car. The rentals are open now too.

Arrive a little early and be ready to launch around 6:00. If you're late, catch up. We're easy to find...people in kayaks with dogs aboard. We try to launch at the scheduled time. We'll head around the lake if it's not windy, then up the creek. On windy evenings, we just go straight to the creek, by the boat ramp.

DRIVING DIRECTIONS:

Use meetup mapping or GPS. Park in spots along the grass, if possible. Center spots are for trailers.

Porta potty at parking lot.
