Adventure East, Paddling Workshop

November 11 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST

Join our Paddling Guides, Dan Finn, who will present an overview of different gear and essentials necessary for safe and comfortable cold weather paddling. We’ll have you suit up in wetsuits and Neoprene booties (that we provide!) before setting off on a paddle. Weather and river conditions will determine our paddling destination around the Sunderland Islands or Lake Warner, where we will have an opportunity to enjoy the vivid, fall scenery.

Topics covered include:

  • Dangers of cold water
  • Things that can prepare you for cold water
  • Planning a cold water paddle
  • Proper gear for cold water paddling
  • Surviving if you go in
