Staff and volunteers will be on the water and land to assist you, if needed.

Adult supervision required.

Minimum of two people registered per canoe team. Examples: 2 adult paddlers or 2 adult paddlers and up to 2 young children (ages 4-8, sitting in the canoe) or 1 adult paddler and 1 child paddler at least 9 years old.

Park in either the car-top launch lot or the lot by the playground and walk to the sandy launch.

Wear quick-dry clothes (no jeans, no 100% cotton fabric) and shoes with a heel strap and closed toes that will get wet (no flip-flops, Crocs or slides). Bring a water bottle.

Each participant must sign the waivers and wear a life jacket properly when on the water.
