Tuesday’s trip on the Saugeen River starts at access #10 on the north edge of Paisley to Access #13, just inland from Port Elgin. The trip is 17.5 km and approximately 3-4 hours. The shuttle time is 30 minutes.
We will be stopping at a conservation area (with washrooms) for lunch about 1 hour into the trip. The river is running fairly low with occasional peaks due to local showers but has been holding good enough flows. Some river reading skills may well come into play. A great trip for all river paddlers. Weather forecast is calling for sun with cloudy periods and a chance of a passing shower, around 24.
This is our last opportunity to run this popular river with an added plus of a swim at Port Elgin beach and supper after (bring swim suits, towels and extra money).
As usual bring sunscreen, insect repellant, lunch, lots of water, dry sack with change of clothes and OSSCC emergency card.
The cost for the all-day event is $9.00 (please remember car pooling money).
We meet at the shed at 7:30-7:45 with and 8:00 sharp departure for our 1 ½ hour drive.
Remember to check your email/blog Monday night and early Tuesday morning, in case there are changes or call Trip Organizers.
