Details

LOWER PINE RIVER- Saturday, @ 10:00AM Meet at the Put in. Limited phone service here.

Paddlers should know how to eddy out (pull over on the river). Great places practice those maneuvers en route.

Feel free to message one of the hosts if you are wondering.

This 14.8 mile paddle and takes about 5 1/2 FUN hours. (includes lunch stop and a stop at the dune to climb after lunch).

Lunch stop at Peterson’s Bridge: (also a possible take out or put in)
which is about 2 hours into the paddle.

Suggest you dress for the water and bring spare clothing

Please Message Michael M if you have not paddled this section of the pine.
