Annual Fall Trap Pond State Park, DE: Camp, Kayak, Bike

Trap Pond State Park: Halloween weekend, so camping spots maybe difficult to reserve.

What we'll do:

• Please make your own Camping Reservations at the Park **

• We usually are in C loop closest to the water.
• NOTE: MANY arrive a day or two early and check out on Monday so we can paddle/bike more on Sunday as checkout is at 11:00 AM
• CAR SHUTTLE between Laurel and Phillips Landing. 7 Miles: See Details
• Please verify the State Park has campsites, then RSVP, if spots are available, and Reserve your site.

A two hour drive from Annapolis, MD.
Friday evening bonfire as everyone arrives and sets-up.
Will have a group breakfast Saturday 8:00 AM. Bring something to share. Saturday evening will be a pot-luck at 6:00 PM

Saturday: SHUTTLE: Saturday morning we will leave the campground around 9:30 for Laurel Town Launch kayaking water access and drop kayaks leaving someone(s) to watch the kayaks. We will drive cars to Phillips Landing on Broad Creek and shuttle back to Laurel. We will paddle from Laurel to Phillips Landing, load kayaks and return to Laurel to collect the shuttle vehicles. This is a 7 mile easy paddle.

Additional: Bring a bike if you’d like to join us for an easy 5 mile ride around Trap Pond.

Sunday: Trap Pond kayak @9:00 AM. Check out of campground is at 11:00 so most reserve Sunday night to stay longer.

Flexible schedule based on weather. We may do a few sunrise paddles. Just a loose laid back weekend with friends. We will fully plan out events as we go.

This will also be a celebration of life for Mike Coppola who passed away May 6. Mike always hosted the potluck dinner and after kayaking games. We will miss him. RIP Mike.

• Important to know
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.
