**Let's look for birds and trash!**
It's bird migration season so I'm excited to check out a few spots where I've seen lots of birds in past years at this time. We'll enjoy some time on the water, look for birds, and pick up a bit of trash along the way. Plan on paddling around 3-4 hours to get to the spots and back. Bring lunch to eat in our boats.

If you don't already have your Jackson County boat/board permit, allow an extra 30 minutes to get that at the marina and then unload at the launch site.

I'll have free Paddle KC stickers for Paddle KC members. I'll also bring trash bags to gather any trash we find on the water along the way.

**KAYAKS & CANOES ONLY**
Paddleboards are not allowed on Longview Lake Friday through Sunday. If you're attending and are able to bring a second kayak to loan to one of our paddleboarders, please post a comment.

**PERMIT REQUIRED**
[Jackson County boat permit](https://www.makeyourdayhere.com/Parks-Lakes/Boating-Marinas/Boat-Motor-Permits) is half princed now - $15 annual for JaCo resident, $30 non-resident. $30 daily. Includes Jacomo, Longview, Blue Springs and Prairie Lee lakes where we paddle often, and fees support the parks.
