April Level 1 Picnic Day Paddle

Description:  Our group will launch from EG Simmons Park and paddle out to the bay and north along the shoreline for approximately 2.5-3 miles north at which point we’ll return to EG Simmon’s park. Once we return to EG Simmons we can either return to the launch or if there is time and we desire we can go into the park for another mile or two paddle around the closed loop of the park. 


Location:  EG Simmons Park, located at 2401 19th Avenue NW in Ruskin

Schedule:  Saturday, April 18.  Meet at 9:30 AM at the kayak launch area for an 10:00 AM launch.  We’ll shoot for returning between 12:00-12:30PM so that we'll be back for the picnic gathering at 1PM. 

Additional information: The park charges a $2 fee per vehicle and an additional $5 for vehicles pulling a trailer.  

Difficulty:  Level 1. Review TBSK's Skills Self-Assessment Chart and contact trip leader with any questions.
