Huron River: Proud Lake to Kensington
Details
Due to low water levels on the Clinton, the Saturday paddle is now on the beautiful Huron River National Water Trail. We will tackle the first 10-11 miles of the trail over 4-5 hours, including a stop at the park in Milford for lunch. Expect a couple easy portages around dams as we journey from Proud Lake to either Dawson Rd or into Kensington Metropark.
9:30 - Be ready to shuttle cars (if needed, I may arrange a shuttle from my friend Alan Heavner)
10:05 - Return from shuttling
10:15 - Safety talk
10:20 - Paddles in the water
- PFD Required to be worn properly at all times
- It's a good idea to bring dry clothes in a dry bag and some in your car.
- Please be aware that we enjoy our alcoholic beverages off-river only due to safety and other concerns. Please respect the event host (It's awkward approaching someone mid-trip) and the clubs position on this matter. We’ll enjoy one with you after the trip.
- We leave on time to make sure that those who have to drop out with out contacting us can do so. We also can't wait for those who will be running late to keep the paddle in order. Please be on time or early.
- We leave together after the safety talk and picture. Please remain on land until the host has completed their duties in this regard.
