19 people have registered as of September 30.
Location: The Brokenhead River crosses highway 59 a kilometre NE of the South Beach Casino & Resort, 58 km / 35 minutes north of the north Perimeter Highway. The launch location is a couple hundred metres east of the highway behind the Brokenhead Community Store.
Time: Please arrive at the launch location by 9:30 AM so we can launch by 10:00.
Description: We can paddle upstream for as far as the water level allows, and then paddle downstream towards Lake Winnipeg where water levels are always good. Grey Hares did this route on 2019-May-22.
Lunch: Lunch will be at an appropriate location and time along the river.
Toilets: There are toilets at the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, but not 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, your name tag, and extra warm clothes.
