Location / Time: We'll launch from the La Barrière Park canoe/kayak launch at 10:00 AM. After dropping off your canoe/kayak, it's an 800m drive to the parking lot and a 300m walk back to the canoe/kayak launch. Please plan to arrive by 9:30.
Description: We'll paddle upstream to as far as the dam just east of La Salle town ... or however far we want to go. There is a well-established grassy portage of the dam on the north side of the river, so we should be able to eat lunch there or somewhere else. Paddle downstream back to La Barrière Park. 18K maximum total distance. Water levels were OK this past weekend and this week's rain should ensure paddling conditions are good.
Toilets: There are toilets at La Barrière Park.
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, your name tag, and warm extra clothes ... just in case.
