Sunday Paddle - George Washington Canal

With the continued drought, the Potomac is really our only choice. So, once again, we will return to the George Washington Canal. We will meet at the Violette's Lock parking lot at 8:30 in order to run a loop trip with return via the C&O canal. As always, please let the trip coordinator (Wayne McDaniel, macinmd1@gmail.com, 443 542 8779) know if you will be joining.

The morning weather forecast is air temp in the mid-80s and virtually no chance of rain (famous last words). The forecast river level is 2.8’ on the Little Falls gauge, very low for this time of year. ?

PFDs are required for all. Helmets are required for kayakers using spray skirts and highly recommended for all others. Airbags are strongly encouraged for boats without other means of flotation. If you need safety equipment, please advise the trip coordinator in advance.
