For times and other trip information see here!

Please check back often should there be a change in the trip schedule or for more trip details! Use the comments section below if you have any questions;)

do not plan any other activities on canoe trip days. we cannot guarantee when we’ll be back!

Please be on time for scheduled departures so there is time to sign in, pay trip fee, organize number of canoes required, arrange transportation/car pools, etc. The sooner we can get to our destination, the sooner we can get on the water!  You won’t want to end up having to car top a canoe or be left behind!!  (Please leave enough time to get to the shed, but if you get caught up in traffic, please let the trip coordinator know as this will make a difference in how many canoes are required and if we need another tower)

If you have any questions about the canoe trips, please contact the trip coordinators listed with the trips on the schedule.

If you are towing for any of the above trips, please keep track of your mileage from the time you leave the shed to the time you return to the shed after the trip. Remember to either pick up a towing reimbursement form from  the binder in the shed or download it from here.
