Trip Rating: 

INTERMEDIATE

Contact / Registration: 

Kevin & Anita Miller -- register at k.a.miller@mts.net . 15 people have registered as of October 1.

Location / Time: Launch from along Wavey Creek Road at 10:00 AM. There are actually many places to launch along that road. Please plan to arrive at 9:30. Kevin & Anita will arrive very early to help guide you to the exact launch location.

Carpooling: It is customary for paddling partners to carpool together. Otherwise, if you are bow paddler who'd like to catch a ride with someone carrying a canoe or kayak, let us know.

Description: We've launched from Wavey Creek Road 4 times in the past 4 years. There are 4 different possible routes -- plus variations -- and many possible distances. (GPS tracks are available on request.) Distances and lengths of time from launch to takeout have ranged from 13K to 19K and 3 hours to 5 hours. When you register, you can indicate your preference for route and/or distance and/or time. Wavey Creek, Medicine Creek, Muckle Creek, and Netley Creek are very wide in most places -- much wider than the Seine River and the La Salle River, and backflow from Lake Winnipeg and the Red River provides reliable water depth with minimal current.

Lunch: We’ll stop for lunch at an appropriate location at an appropriate time.

Toilets: There aren't any formal toilets along our paddling route.

Boats: If you don’t have a canoe or kayak, we can try to partner you with a canoe owner who is looking for a bow paddler.

Rating: Novice (bow paddler in the canoe of an experienced stern paddler) to intermediate.

Bring: Lunch, water, sunscreen, your name tag, and extra warm clothes.
