Sunday Paddle - Riley's/GW Canal/Pennyfield
Sunday 6/25 - GW Canal via Pennyfield Shuttle @ 9:00
The Sunday paddle will again be the Riley's Lock/George Washington (GW)/Potowmack Canal/Pennyfield run. Meet at Pennyfield Lock Parking lot at 9:00 a.m. to set shuttle since the canal is still de-watered. We will then convoy up to Riley's Lock.
The weather is projected to be in the mid to upper 70s. Chance of rain is less than 25%. The Little Falls Gauge is projected to be back up over the recent lows to the normal summer 3.0', possibly higher with Friday's rain if it is upstream.
Please let the trip coordinator know you are coming. If you are a first timer, please let the trip coordinator know that too, so that they can contact you in advance with a few questions. This week's trip coordinator is Jackie Hoglund at jhoglund1 at yahoo.com or 301 661-6916.
For those unfamiliar with the run, we will depart Riley’s and cross the Potomac on a mile of flatwater then turn into the remains of the GW/Potowmack canal. We will paddle down this mile long Class II stretch until we rejoin the river and then head down the final mile of mostly flatwater to Pennyfield. Total trip time 3.5-4 hours.
This is a Class II trip. Boat control in moving water is essential. Life jackets are required. Helmets are strongly encouraged (mandatory for kayakers). Kayakers should have a skirt. Boats should have flotation.
When:
Sunday, June 25, 2023, 9:00 AM until 1:00 PM
