About this event

Many of us have done Elk Creek before, but it is nice to go up stream and enjoy the calm serenity of the river and listen to the birds in the spring when the water levels are a bit higher. Going up stream from the main lake takes about 15-20 min. There may be a couple times we have to get out of the kayak and back in due to low waters in certain areas. It is usually just about 10-15 steps on sandy bottom and then you get back in. The waters may be a bit chilly still and so wearing a pair of rubber boots up to the knee might be helpful. If you don't mind a bit of chilly feet, than just wear tennis shoes. Sea kayaks might be a bit more challenging for this paddle, but not discouraged.
