**Hey, winter paddlers - join us Sunday afternoon for a paddle around pretty Lake Olathe!** Because of safety considerations, guests are not allowed. If friends want to attend, please have them join Paddle KC. Thank you, Ryan, for suggesting!

NOT PADDLING? SAY HELLO!
**Anyone is welcome to meet us at launch to say hello and check gear used. This is a good time to also see loading/transporting options if you're a new paddler.** There are nice paved trails at this lake to enjoy an outdoor walk if you don't plan to paddle.

Please read our post on [Dressing for Cold Water Paddling](https://paddlekc.com/tips/dressing-for-cold-water-paddling/) for helpful info on safety and gear required. If you're missing something (like winter paddling gloves or pogies), post a comment and I might have extras to loan.

REQUIRED

* Answers to RSVP questions.
* Paddling experience - this is not a good match for brand new paddlers. In cold water it's important to paddle below your skills level, for safety reasons.
* 10 foot or longer kayak, or a canoe. SUPs and sit on top kayaks require a drysuit. No inflatable kayaks or tukteks. Orus are fine, but bring a yoga mat or blanket for the cold bottom.
* Cold water paddling gear and clothing. If you aren't sure what that is, read the linked article above.

MEET at the Lake Olathe non-motorized boat launch area (grassy lawn) and allow time to unload before 1:00 launch. The event map pin shows the exact location.

PERMIT NOT REQUIRED

**Plan ahead to also join us for our special (indoor) Monday Dec 9 [Choosing & Upgrading Paddles](https://4142298.xyz/paddlekc/events/304172716) event** with Aqua Bound and Bending Branches. Learn helpful info and tips, see paddles not available at any area stores, and get big discounts!
