Launch location: La Salle town boat launch. There is parking on the road leading to it.
Time: Meet at 9:30 AM. Launch at 10:00.
Description: From the La Salle town boat launch we’ll paddle upstream as far as we want to go, and then turn around and paddle downstream to the launch site. Some of us may also want to paddle downstream to the La Salle Dam and back (an extra 3K).
Lunch: We'll find an appropriate shore location for lunch.
Toilets: There is a Co-op food store and a Co-op gas bar on hwy 330, a few blocks after you drive over the La Salle River into the town. 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.
Mandatory safety equipment for all Grey Hares paddling activities:
• A Personal Floatation Device (PFD).
• A sound signalling device (AKA "whistle").
• A bailer.
• A buoyant heaving line (AKA "rope") at least 15 metres long.
• Extra warm clothes.
A sponge is a good idea (especially for a kayak) because it helps you completely drain your boat.
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.
