\*\*PERMIT REQUIRED: They really were checking for permits over the last few years, and may be this year as well. The citation is $130.00 if you didn't have your permit. **ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST WEAR A PFD while paddling, it must be on properly.** This paddles will have more of an exploring nature and relaxation feel, but we going a distance to a waterfall. We will be paddling between 2.5 to 3 mph, but we will stop periodically to explore coves and the waterfall. On the water time is 10:30, so plan on being there by 10:00 to get your gear ready and park your car up the hill. This paddle will have more of an exploring nature and relaxation feel to it. A nice relaxing paddle. We will still be paddling about 7-8 miles and will try to keep a speed of around 2.5 - 3 mph or so (except when we stop in coves to explore) so make sure you are up for the distance/speed. We will be heading up to explore a very cute, tiny waterfall. This are for people who want to stop and smell the roses, but want to head up to that waterfall! Triadelphia (Brighton Dam) and Rocky Gorge (T. Howard Duckett Dam) Reservoirs are surrounded by 6,000 acres of wooded property that comprise the WSSC owned portion of the Patuxent Reservoirs Watershed. The two reservoirs collect water draining off 132 square miles and can store over 11billion gallons of water. This water serves as the drinking water for 1/3 of WSSC’s 1.8 million customers. WSSC’s watershed recreation program allows visitors access to 6 watershed recreation areas which include picnic facilities and over 16 miles of shoreline fishing and interior recreation trails. All users must purchase a permit to enter and use the facilities. TRIADELPHIA is closed at this point, due to work on the dam. We will head up stream from the Scotts Cove put in at a leisurely pace. My plan is to head up past the Route 29 bridge and head for a nice little waterfall. We can also take time exploring some of the many coves and fingers of the reservoir. There is no parking at the actual ramp, you need to unload you kayak and then park up on the hill. Total paddle time should be about three hours for a total distance of 7-8 miles, plus a nice long snack/lunch break. Bring a wide brim hat, cold water, and sunscreen. Don't forget to bring snacks or lunch. ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST WEAR A PFD AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL SAFETY You must have your own equipment and kayak for this paddle. The Organizers and Event Hosts of Wicked Fun Kayakers look out for our paddlers, but we are not trained experts in rescuing paddlers. All trips are organized by volunteers who are experienced kayakers but not professionals or qualified rescue experts. You are responsible for your own personal safety. YOU MUST HAVE A PERMIT to paddle at Triadelphia. Day permits are $6.00 and annual permits are $70.00. You can buy one at the visitor center at Brighton Dam before the paddle or get one online at www.wsscwater.com.

The South Fork of the Shenandoah is a flowing mountain river, in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, legendary for its canoeing excellence. Join us for two nights of camping at Golden Rock Campground at Compton Rapid (the prettiest spot on the river) and two days of paddling. We will drive to the campsite and spend Friday night there. The campground is primitive, which means no showers, no dedicated campsites, and lots of natural beauty. We will look out for eagles flying overhead or in their nests, and otters playing in the creek on the upper end of the campground. Next morning the Outfitter will shuttle us up the river to start our kayaking trip. After a fun day of paddling we will be back at the camp site to spend another night outdoors. We will wrap up our trip the next day with another 4 hours of paddling before we head back to our cars. Kayaks will be provided, but you would need to bring your own camping gear and meals including a tent, sleeping pad and a sleeping mat. **After you complete your registration on our website, you will receive a confirmation email with additional event details and event location.** There is limited space, so please register early. **Register and pay for this event on our website at this link**: https://washingtonwomenoutdoors.org/event-6658739 **Find out about WWO Member benefits at this link**: https://washingtonwomenoutdoors.org/Membership

We’ll depart mid-morning on Friday, June 19 and make our way to the outfitter’s campus near Fayetteville, West Virginia. Along the way, we’ll stop at Virginia's newest tourist attraction - Buc-ee’s - and enjoy the scenery as we cross from the Virginia highlands into West Virginia. On Saturday, we’ll spend the day rafting the Lower New River, a classic Class III–V rafting stretch known for its big waves, warm water, and stunning scenery through the New River Gorge. This guided trip typically lasts 5–6 hours and includes periods of intense paddling, calm pools for swimming and a riverside lunch break. *Participants should be comfortable in moving water, able to paddle vigorously as part of a team and capable of sitting on the raft’s outer tubes for extended periods. Good mobility, balance and the ability to climb back into the raft if needed are important. This trip is recommended for individuals in good physical condition who can handle moderate to strenuous activity throughout the day.* The evening will be free to explore the amenities, relax or enjoy the on-site dining options. On Sunday, we’ll check out and head to the Canyon Rim Visitor Center and partake in a short scenic walk into the Gorge—an excellent opportunity for photos of the famous arch bridge and panoramic views—before returning home. Note that the walk to the lower observation deck involves descending 178 steps. We expect to arrive back in the metro area early Sunday evening. **Transportation** Carpooling details will be worked out among participants and a meeting/departure location will be set; drivers will receive a reimbursement. In the event we don't have enough drivers, we will utilize rental vehicles. **Lodging & Sleeping Arrangements** Once we arrive at the outfitter's base camp on Friday, we’ll check into their historic Truman Lodge, which features a full kitchen, porch and hot tub and is conveniently located within walking distance of their water park, restaurants, bar and rafting check-in. Sleeping arrangements will be coordinated among participants; options include queen-sized beds, a futon, roll-aways, and foam mattresses in the sleeping loft. **Meals** Lunch on Saturday is included with the rafting trip but all other meals will be on your own; group coordination will be encouraged. We’ll make a lunch stop on both the trip down and the return trip. The outfitter has two restaurants on site and the cabin has a kitchen; we’ll bring a cooler and make a brief stop for groceries on the way down. **Trip Costs** The total estimated trip cost is $325-375. This includes transportation, lodging, rafting (includes lunch) and the Adventuring trip fee. **Important Registration Information** Participation is limited to individuals who have participated in least three prior Adventuring events.
