Trip Announcement

New Year’s Day Paddle January 2, 2021 Trip Sponsor: Dwayne James

Due to expected freezing rain and showers all day I am cancelling the January 1 paddle and moving it to January 2, 2021.   Start the New Year out right. Join the club for a refreshing paddle on January 2 at 10:30 am. This year we plan to run the section of the White River that runs from the old railroad trail in Broad Ripple down to Riverside Park in Indianapolis. This section should have plenty of water and pose no problems for paddlers of any skill level. While all types of boats are usable, I would not want to use a sit on top as the water will be cold.

Pending weather, we will meet behind the Indianapolis Art Center at the put in where E 67th street and Cornell Ave meet. There is a small parking lot we can use. It will be cold: dress properly for your level of comfort. We will run a shuttle leaving at 11 am. Masks will be worn. If you have covid symptoms or are not sure, stay home. Look for a go-no go email on January 1 by 8 pm. Questions: dwaynesjamesa1@hotmail.com

Please download and complete and sign the covid/trip waiver form and email it to me or bring it with you to the paddle Saturday morning:   Waiver/COVID Screening Form.
