About this event


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 NortPines 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.
