Leader:Tom Eckels

Location: Nippersink Creek

Skill Level:  Advanced Beginner

Category:  Day trip
Details:  Join us for a paddle on July 4th on the Nippersink Creek.


The day is going to  be warm so make sure you bring plenty of water to drink. There will be a lunch stop for a picnic lunch so please plan accordingly.  The usual rules apply, including the fact that PFD will be worn when on the water.   You need to supply your own canoe/kayak and all of your own paddling gear. There is always the possibility of down-fall so good boat control skills are a must. 

To avoid crowds we will plan on a 9am car shift.  Please plan on being at the launch site with your boat and gear unloaded and be ready to car shift at 9am. Please contact Tom Eckels at thomasreckels@gmail.com or 847-863-7046 to confirm your participation and for details about the specific launch site.
