Sunday Paddle - George Washington/Patowmack Canal
About this event
This Sunday we invite you to meet at the Violette’s Lock parking lot at 9:00 AM for a GW Canal Loop Trip. We’ll cross the Potomac River above Seneca Breaks, drop down into the GW Canal to run the class I-II rapids, then rejoin the main channel of the Potomac to cross back over to the C&O Canal. This allows us to run a “loop trip” without setting shuttle.
The forecast for Sunday is sunny with a high of 79. The Little Falls gauge is projected to be 3.7 feet. Perfect weather, and a perfect level for the canal!
Please contact the trip coordinator at white.pamela@gmail.com if you plan to attend. If you have any Sunday morning difficulties you can reach me on my cell at 571.216.4290.
PFDs are required for all paddlers. Helmets are required for kayakers using a spray skirt and are strongly encouraged for others. Airbags are also strongly encouraged for any boats without other means of flotation. If you need safety equipment please reach out to the trip coordinator prior to Sunday morning.
