Feb 1, 2008 · Lake Tugalo was absolutely gorgeous. We paddled up the chattooga side of the lake until we reached the last rapid on section 4. As it happened, we saw a couple of guys paddle the last rapid. It was very beautiful. I’ve paddled section 3 1/2 and that part of the lake brought back memories of the chattooga.

Nov 13, 2024 · I don’t have a lot of experience in solo racing canoes, but I did have a J-200 for a while. They don’t like to turn, and they are tough if you get turned sideways in the current, as you see at about 9:45 when the guy goes sideways into the stainer.

Sep 13, 2005 · Good example is the Great Salt Lake with is 4 times saltier than the ocean. My boat rides SO high in that it bobs like a cork and the key features in the boats design which make is stable are or have become more useless unless I put about 200 pounds of weight in the boat it weigh it down etc.

Jan 4, 2007 · Putting in at Old Forge, whats the best I can expect on a 3 day trip for milage ? Making average time, solo ? How about tandem ? Looking to cover good milage per day. I’m fat old and out of shape, but can paddle forever. I’m thinking ‘Forked Lake campground’ is a reasonable distance for a 3 day trip. Any suggestions or advise ? What’s the best ‘window’ in the spring to avoid ...

Sep 22, 2008 · The lake is somewhat lower than summer, but it’s still a great paddle. Depends on how far your wanting to go. Hazel Creek is a great destination…put in at Cable Cove off of hwy 28…go straight across the lake and turn right on the otherside of the point. The point is straight out from the boat launch. It’s about a 4 mile paddle to Hazel.

Jun 11, 2024 · Hi all - I am planning a trip to Yellowstone on the last week of August this summer. I have my backcountry permits for campsites on Shoshone Lake (3 days 2 nights). I have read a number of accounts for this general trip on this forum and others. My question is - can anyone recommend a guidebook that has any info on paddling these lakes & others in the region (also visiting Green River Lakes in ...

May 11, 2004 · Paddle E into S end of lake along golden sand shore w/ great view to N of Debar & other hi points. Primitive campsite in SE corner of L (past Osgood outlet)is just out of hearing of SR 30 traffic. Camping @ few sites on Osgood is not but still a very scenic paddle.

Oct 19, 2008 · I have seen Lake Hickory have highs in the mid-80’s and a low of 48 in February. I wear NRS hydroskin and I am only comfortable for a couple of minutes in the water at the lowest temperatures. But that is all it takes for me to get out of the water. Lake Hickory water temps are comparable to those at Stumpy Point, Lake Norman, NC.

Mar 28, 2022 · Ross Lake as a human-powered boat friendly location has been ruined by the rentals of the 10hp aluminum boats that people take to the non-dock sites meant for canoes and kayaks. Plus they’re noisy. Sad.

May 28, 2013 · I wqs recently up in Lake Chelan in Washington. I am curious if it is practical to paddle a Kayak from the 25 Mile State park on the west side of the lake, north to Stehekin (and back)? I would love to do this as a slow 2-4 day trip, but I am not sure if there are any areas along the way that one could camp. (I know about lodging in Stehekin). I have read about steep cliffs, etc. I have never ...
