Description: We’ll paddle down the Hillsborough River to downtown Tampa and return.

Location: Lowry Park Boat Ramp (the Park is off Sligh Avenue in North Tampa)

Schedule: Wednesday, January 22.  We’ll meet at the boat ramp at Tampa’s Lowry Park at 9:00 for a 9:30 launch and plan to return by 2:00.  We’ll plan to eat lunch at the new rowing center across from the Tampa Museum of Art.  Will require that paddlers are able to exit and re-enter their kayaks from the low rowing docks.

Difficulty: Level 2+ – We’ll paddle at a moderate pace on protected water, but this paddle will be about 12 miles long, so will require that paddlers are capable of paddling back upstream for 6 miles – a strong L2.

Required: Non-Inflatable PFD, Water/Drink, Sunscreen

See the Skills Self Assessment Chart in the Paddling Guide section of the web site and contact the leader with any questions. Must register on the web site or RSVP to the trip leader to allow notification of any changes.
