We are starting the new school year by floating down the Broad River again!

Saturday, September 8th at 11 am

Broad River Outpost - 7911 Wildcat Bridge Rd, Danielsville, GA 30633

Marni’s great kayaking pointers:

• Lazy, fun times floating down the upper (easy) part of the Broad.  Families, friends, significant others!  All are welcome. Kids above 6 should definitely get their own boats. You might have to do marginal paddling. Marginal.  
• We’ll meet at the Broad River Outpost at noon and the float takes 4-5 hours or so (depending on how often we stop). This float is for beginners, basic, non-water people! Fear not! You can stand in the river the entire way. 
• You need to reserve you and your family/ significant others a boat in the next couple of weeks! You can cancel a boat if you need to, but Saturdays are very popular so you should reserve a boat at least one week before the trip.  
• All you need to do is call the BRO at 706-795-3242 and reserve your kayaks and camping spot. Tell them you’ll be floating the upper/ easy part with the UGA Art School. It is $25 to rent a boat and for the shuttle. If you bring your own boat, it’s $5 for the shuttle. Oars and life jackets are also provided.  
• Bring food and beer and water for the afternoon. No glass bottles are allowed on the river. It’s always nice to have food to share. And sunscreen is essential.  You can fit a small cooler on the back of your boat but it must have a latch or zipper. You’ll probably lose your sunglasses. Friendly dogs are welcome — on the shuttle and on the river. 
• We’d like to launch down the river as a big group so please be on time.

Email Stephanie if you plan on attending so we can get a rough headcount.
