About this event
ACA Smart Waiver
Paddle Plan: This is a slow, leisurely paddle looking for birds, probably around the marina, sand spit and into the Plum Creek delta and back. Plan to arrive at 8:30 a.m. to unload boats and have paddles wet at 9 a.m. Ending around noon.
What to bring: Must have PFD, safety whistle, hat, sunscreen, binoculars. Snacks and water.
Bring a lunch if you want to hang out afterward.
Site cost: If you have your Keep Colorado Wild pass, you are all set. Otherwise, pay a $10-12 per vehicle entrance fee at the gate.
Who can come: Current RMSKC members with an up-to-date ACA annual waiver, guests, potential members and friends. If you are not an ACA member with current annual waiver, you must pay $10 for an ACA "Event Membership" and sign the ACA waiver. Participation is limited to 12 paddlers so that everybody can gain sight of the birds spotted and communicate with one another.
Hazards: Cold water. If the wind picks up, expect waves.
