Quick trip down the Credit -Streetsville to Erindale (about 1 hour on the water).  I will try and figure out if the river under the QEW is open and we can paddle to the lake to extend our trip a bit (about 2 hours on the water)

I will keep an on water levels - aim is Streetsville gauge at 4.7 or above.

Carpool Info

I can pick up someone in Etobicoke/Mississauga enroute.  Better if at least one pair carpools so we have a person to watch the boats and gear while we run shuttle
