Paddles Up! September 19, 2:30 pm
POWER OF THE GRAND: All Skill Levels and Beginner-friendly; 1 to 1 1⁄2 HOURS

Drop in at Lansing’s Moore’s Park directly across the river from the century old Otto E. Eckert Power Station with the city’s iconic triple smokestacks towering overhead. This route is perfect for the beginning paddler as the river is wide and slow moving for the length of the trip. Your journey ends at Rotary Park in Downtown Lansing.


Special Kayak Skill Building Opportunity

For anyone desiring to attend, I am offering 1st time kayakers and those wishing to brush up on their skills, Kayak Skill Building at 1:30 pm for 1⁄2 hour before the rental kayaks arrive. If this interests you, please include that in your RSVP text message to me to hold your space. I will cover water safety, basic paddling strokes, and entry/exit.
