Sunday Paddle - George Washington Canal

About this event

It's the George Washington Canal again on Sunday. We will meet at the Violette's Lock parking lot at 8:30 in order to run a loop trip with return via the C&O canal. As always, please let the trip coordinator (Wayne McDaniel, macinmd1@gmail.com, 443 542 8779) know if you will be joining.

The morning weather forecast is ideal with air temp in the high 70s under sunny skies. The forecast river level is 2.9’ on the Little Falls gauge, a good level for this time of year, thanks to the lingering effects of Hurricane Debby. ?

PFDs are required for all. Helmets are required for kayakers using spray skirts and highly recommended for all others. Airbags are strongly encouraged for boats without other means of flotation. If you need safety equipment, please advise the trip coordinator in advance.
