Trip Planning Resources

Well planned paddles are fulfilling, delightful experiences. The following guidelines (well, okay… RULES) will help you successfully participate in WAKE-sponsored paddles. If you’re interested in intiating a paddle, don’t hesitate to contact any Board of Directors. We encourage every paddler to become a safe, effective trip planner for WAKE and for all other paddling excursions.

* Remember: you must be a Member to participate!
