This is a beginner-level trip - usually run on the Violettes Lock - George-Washington Canal Loop.

However, since Mark Wray says he's likely to be doing this with a canoeing class
we shall be giving preference to other locations, water levels permitting.
Goose Creek, Seneca Creek, and Lower Antietam come to mind.

Please let me know in advance if you are interested. Not asking for commitment, given my inability to promise a venue, but this will allow me to inform you where the trip is going - and when.

Thanks - SYOTR, Alf

We will paddle to Georgetown on the Boundary Channel at high tide, return on the Potomac, view the Washington monuments, and return to the marina north of the 14th Street Bridge.

There is no rental option.

We will launch from the free kayak facility north of the big boat launch.

We will have a pint afterwards at the outdoor pub at the marina.

SUPs welcome! However, there might be wind-driven waves on the Potomac. Just saying...

As with any activity, there are risks and you assume responsibility for them and nobody will be held liable. In the event of an emergency we will provide assistance.

Anna Normand will coordinate a 15 mile class I float on the Shenandoah from hwy 50 to rt 7 with brewery visits after. Contact Ann at evangelinemaid@gmail.com if you are interested in participating.
Route described here:

We will then shuttle as many cars to the take out at rt 7 as we can fit there (boat launch is very popular). Not too far after starting our paddle there is a great spring fed swimming hole with ice cold water. After the long day of paddling, those interested may go immediately from take out to one or two breweries nearby before returning to the put in to grab any shuttle cars left there.

On Zoom.

This is a repeat of my last year’s second highest rated kayaking event. I’ve asked the Park Authority to install a kayak launch. Unsure if this this will ever happen but we will launch from the same places we did last year. We build a human chain to move the boats and deliver travelers.

This will be about a six mile paddle which will include seeing Mount Vernon (from the wide section of the river) and exploring Little Hunting Creek.

This year, I’ll explain first we will paddle to Mount Vernon and turn around and paddle under the stone bridge under the GW Parkway. We will keep to the right as motor boats might be exiting the creek.

You have the option of paddling beyond Mount Vernon but let us know if this is your plan before we launch.

For this trip, I request that you wear a life vest. In the event of emergency this will really help us rescue you.

The wind can also create rolling waves on the open river. They are fun and don’t be worried there will be no white caps.

Afterwards, we can meet at the local pub for a pint and a meal, https://www.bellehavenpizzeria.com
