Paddling season is underway.
Looking for a relaxing paddle nearby? Don’t want to have to load and unload your own boat? Then join us for a day on the Schuylkill River in Manayunk on Sunday, June 27 at 10 am (rain date TBD). Hidden River Outfitters has generously offered the use of their kayaks for a nominal charge of $20, and we will have use of the boats for the day. Enjoy a leisurely paddle downriver to the Philadelphia Canoe Club, or a more aerobic paddle upriver to the end of the Flat Rock whitewater run where you can sun on the rocks. After-wards enjoy lunch and your favorite beverage at the Manayunk Brew Pub, or just stroll thru Manayunk. Free parking will be available in the municipal lot off Lock Street, just past (or before, depending on how you go there!) the brew pub. There is a limit of 10 for this event. Contact Mike Fernandez (609-254-8461 or email amf.snj@gmail.com for details or to reserve a spot. The trip is suitable for beginners, and instruction is available.
