TBSK Monthly picnic and paddle
The Hillsborough River is the favorite place to paddle for many club members. This is a long-boat friend-ly stretch. The first 2.5 miles until Lettuce Lake is undeveloped and frequent alligator sightings can be expected. Current on the Hillsborough is less than 1mph. Possible motorboats and crowds. Restroom available at Lettuce Lake Park.
What to bring: $2 parking fee. The main courses will be provided by the club, and members should bring a side dish to share. All paddlers bring water, hat, sunscreen, and wear pdf at all times.
If the weather looks iffy, check our web site (www.clubkayak.com/tbsk) to see whether the picnic will be cancelled. (We’ll send an email too, but we know sometimes emails can get delayed.) Activities coordina-tors: Keith & Paula Fowler red68tr250@gmail.com.
