This is a leisurely three to four hour flatwater paddle with a picnic stop halfway through. Caution: Boats with fins will likely have trouble in the weeds.
We will shove off at 10 am from the public boat launch in the park. Enter the park and follow the signs to the canoe/boat launch on Picnic Island. We are NOT meeting at the boat rental site.
