All participants should know how to swim and manage themselves on a body of moving water. Footwear is encouraged, but flip-flops are not recommended. Don't be that barefoot person.
The plan is to park at the Cityview Dog Park area where we'll have everyone sign waivers and have a quick safety briefing. We'll put in at the boat launch off the Riverfront Trail. We'll paddle upstream to the Naasis where we'll lilydip to the second bend, regroup, and paddle back. Everyone is then invited to join us at Trailway for a social hour post-paddle.
 
No alcohol will be permitted while on the water.

This event will occur rain or shine. Pre-registration is not necessary, though we'd appreciate an RSVP to gauge numbers.
Cancellation of the event will only occur in the event of high winds, extreme heat, or thunderstorms.
