What we’re about
Our members paddle, bike, walk and hike. Whatever there is to do outdoors under our own power is what we do.
This is a PARTICIPATORY outdoors meetup group. No one person does it all. Any member can plan and host events in accord with their interests. Please join us with the idea of pitching in with one event a year and enjoy with the rest of us a full calendar of opportunities to get outside with like-minded souls. When you’re ready to plan your very own event and invite others to join you, let the Organizer know.
This group's Organizer fees are financed with small donations from its members ($10 per year is suggested). There are three ways to donate:
A) Mail to Ron Haines. (Send him a message first to get the correct address)
B) Paypal via this link, https://paypal.me/ronaldhaines .
C) Pay the Organizer at an event.

Upper Loxahatchee River at Riverbend Park in Jupiter
Riverbend County Park, 9060 West Indiantown Road, Jupiter, FL, USWe will be paddling the UPRIVER portion of the Loxahatchee River at Riverbend Park, 9060 W Indiantown Rd, Jupiter.
This trip requires TWO small portages of about 200 feet to get into the upper river portion and back. Folks generally help each other at the portage. This is a leisurely three to four hour flatwater paddle with a picnic stop halfway through. Caution: Boats with fins will likely have trouble in the weeds.
We will shove off at 10 am from the public boat launch in the park. Enter the park and follow the signs to the canoe/boat launch on Picnic Island. We are NOT meeting at the boat rental site.
Required: PFD (on and fastened), whistle, ten feet of rope. Also bring hydration and snacks as you wish and whatever personal items you need.
Please, if you sign up, show up! If you don't plan to attend let the trip leader know.
