You are invited! Get your kayak or SUP. Come out and paddle with us. Bring a smile and pack a snack! Everything tastes delicious on the water. We are going to stop at a beach.
Drop your kayak off at 5:45. We’ll be on the water at 6 pm and ready to go by 6:15. Parking is very easy with a big parking lot. We will use the boat ramp to enter the water. We'll be back from kayaking right around 8 pm.
This is my favorite paddle. I love going up to Bosher's Dam, hanging out, and listen to the water from the beach on the left. You can see Bosher's Dam from the Willie Bridge in a car. Pack a picnic snack! Fruit.
LIFE JACKETS (PFDs) MUST BE WORN and fastened while on the water. Make sure you have a whistle and a light in case we are out after dark. PLEASE don’t make me talk to you about wearing your life jacket properly. Snap it closed. It looks better in pictures and it's safer!
PLEASE STAY WITH THE GROUP! Take little breaks so everyone can catch up. Don’t let anyone get too far behind. If you want to go back let someone know. Be extra friendly. Find a new kayaking buddy. Have a great time!
Always bring something to drink, a snack, and a "we are going to have fun attitude!" (Kayaking is sometimes canceled because of bad weather, but I try not too. Use your best judgement.)
There is sometimes a lot of traffic at Huguenot Fatwater but just be patient because there is high turnover. Unload and then look for a spot. Ask for help if you need it. We all love kayaking and want to make sure you love it too. We have the greatest times! More fun than Kings Dominion or Bush Gardens!
Bring your camera. We always see beautiful animals and birds.
It's around 4 miles up and back.
Bring a flashlight just in case we get back at dark!
IF YOU NEED HELP BLOW YOUR WHISTLE!
(RIP Trevor Dodson, fraternity brother, and best friend)
