Safety Information:
PFDs must be worn or on board for all paddlers. No one under the age of 12 years old will be permitted to paddle solo. Younger children are allowed but must be on the same board or in the same kayak as their parent/guardian. No pets will be allowed to attend the paddle on the water but are more than welcome to be with a handler dockside. Please dress appropriately for the air and water temperature. Recommend neoprene / synthetic underlayers and neoprene booties since the temperatures are dropping.
