Tidbits of Wisdom

Paddle Boat Safety:
It's summer and you're dying to go out on the river with your kayak, canoe or stand-up paddle board. There are risks even without the engine, so be prepared before you venture out.

• Take an ACA (American Canoe Association) on-water instruction course.
  
• Wear a life jacket: 85% of canoe fatalities were not wearing a life jacket.
• Cold water trips: Dress in layers using synthetic fabrics, such as polyester fleece, to prevent getting overheated or chilled from perspiration.
• White water rivers: Watch for hydraulics - Looking downstream, if a hole is “smiling” it is probably friendly. If it’s “frowning”, it is probably unfriendly.
• River and coastal guide books and topographic maps are valuable references in trip planning.
• Plan alternate routes.
• File a Float Plan with someone who will notify others if you don't return on time.
• For more information: Visit the ACA website.
