Sunday Paddle - Violettes / GW Canal Loop

CCA invites you to a paddle down the GW Canal on Sunday, September 13th, at 9 am. We recommend you arrive at the meeting place, Violettes Lock, at 8:30 am to get parking and give yourself time to prepare to be on the river by 9 am. If there are more than 10 paddlers, we'll consider breaking up the group into two groups.

We'll paddle across the Potomac to the Virginia side, run the GW canal, and paddle back to Maryland side to paddle up the C&O canal back to Violettes. You may also attain back up the Seneca Breaks if you so desire. Predicted Level: 3.4. Sunny day, Temps~ 80. Water Temp:Slightly cooler bathtub.
