Join us for a peaceful paddle following the shoreline around the perimeter of Lake Mineral Wells, a 650-acre no-wake lake with some cool rock features. We may also go up one of the creeks a little depending on water level. BOYK (bring our own kayak, canoe, or paddle board - rentals are not currently available at this park after Labor Day).

**IMPORTANT:** *This is not a guided trip.* We will all be exploring together. Navigational responsibilities will be shared, and each person is responsible for their own safety. **PFDs must be worn at all times while on the water.**

**WHERE WE MEET:** We will meet at the park's boat ramp, which is a very short drive from the park entrance. ***We will launch right at our indicated start time. Please make sure to arrive early enough to unload and set up your craft and be ready to hit the water on time.***

**FEE/RESERVATIONS:** $7 day use fee. Please get a day pass reservation online prior to coming out for our paddle. If there is no attendant on duty when you enter the park, stop by the self pay station at the park entrance. Fill out the self pay form and write your day use reservation number in the "Pass Number" field as proof of payment. Attach the white top copy to the inside of your windshield and place the yellow envelope inside the slot on the payment box. See the state park website for reservation information.
