Carter Lake is near Loveland. It is about 1 mile wide and 3 miles long.
Please have your boat in the water and ready to go by 9:30 a.m.
We are launching at the North Pines Ramp near the sailing club.
NOT the Marina. (Why? Less motor boat traffic & more shade.)
Cell phone is spotty, but do try to text 970-413-3884 if you are running late. The plan is to paddle to the right and around the lake as weather and boat traffic permit. We can stop for snacks/lunch, but you may want to save room for a burger at the local biker joint, the Windjammer. Thunderstorms can crop up in the afternoons. That is the reason for the early start.
Carter Lake is a Larimer County facility. Fees apply.
Permit The daily fee is $10. If you purchase an annual permit, it covers Horsetooth Reservoir as well.
Brind a guest if you like, but have them sign a waiver
smart waiver and pay the $10 event insurance fee at the put in. No fee if your guest is an ACA member. Bring your ACA card.
