How will we put our boats in the water?

• We recommend arriving 45 minutes before your launch time to allow time for registration and personal preparations (picking up your boat, life jacket and paddle, facility use, snack, gearing up).
• Each group is allotted a 30 minute window to launch within.
• Launches will be first come, first launch within each group.
