Usually my family paddles the Saugeen from Lobies Park in Walkerton to the next takeout (approx 15km).

A few swifts and class one rapids add a little excitement for new paddlers and kids.  This is a weather dependent trip, we are hoping for a sunny day so an ice cream afterwards can be fully enjoyed.

This is a good trip to introduce young people and children to paddling!

Probably on the water at 11 and off at 4.


 

Required Items to Bring

Water, snacks, lunch, sunhat and sunscreen.

Pfds, bailer, painter or throw bag. Nice to have a whistle.

Saugeen will probably have some rocks don’t bring an expensive Kevlar boat. Royalex or the like is probably best.
