About this event

Easy 8-10 mile flat water paddle up and back the Eno and 7 Mile Creek from King's Highway Park. Water is a bit of a hike from the parking lot, so bring your portaging cart if you have one. Otherwise we'll all help carry. Paddles wet at 10:30, arrive earlier to get to dock.

There is a new, floating kayak launch dock, a bit of a bear for very long boats 16'+

As usual, sunscreen, water and a snack are recommended. As usual, a PFD and whistle are required. You paddle at your own risk.
The parking lot is cramped and narrow. A trailer might have trouble turning around. Watch for the sign in the pic above if you haven't been there before. Rain is supposed to be let up come Thursday.
