Rating: Easy paddling. Typical of our Tuesday outings, about 5 hours, including lunch.
Description: An opportunity for all members to get out and stretch their paddling muscles on the lower Humber River. Following a short paddle to Lake Ontario and back, we will have a picnic lunch to celebrate and welcome ‘new members’.
To our new members, we welcome you and look forward to a long and happy association. With safety first in mind, don’t forget your life jacket, whistle, bailer, and throw bag, each of which is mandatory. Bring chairs and eating utensils.
Washroom facilities are not available at the picnic site, but there is a service station on the Queensway.
