Kevin & Anita Miller -- register at k.a.miller@mts.net As of May 15 noon, there are 11 registered paddlers, including 3 canoe owners looking for bow paddlers.
Time: Meet at 9:30 AM. Launch by 10:00.
Launch location: Behind Morrow Gospel Church. This is point #11 on the Paddling the Seine map.
Description: We are assuming (hoping) the water level on the Seine River will rise as a result of the May 16/17/18 rain.
From the launch location, paddle upstream to the rail line with the very narrow culvert located south of the Perimeter Hwy in Prairie Grove (point #4 on the Paddling the Seine map). Then paddle downstream back to the launch location. 12.5K .
This is section 5 plus most of section 6 on the Paddling the Seine map. (" ... thanks to a riffle structure at Shorehill Drive, often the highest water level of the Seine within Winnipeg.")
Lunch: We will have lunch at an appropriate time at an appropriate location along the way.
Boats: If you don’t have a canoe or kayak, we can try to partner you with a canoe owner who is looking for a bow paddler.
Rating: Novice (bow paddler in the canoe of an experienced stern paddler) to intermediate.
Bring: Lunch, water, sunscreen, your name tag, and extra warm clothes.
