This Saturday 3/19 is the multi club paddle trip from Evans to Kersey on the South Platte river. Last year there were about 60 boats I think, mixture of canoes and kayaks. Meet at 9am at the park in Evans. 9 miles of paddling. More info at the Rocky Mountain Canoe club website under 'schedule'.
River is flat with some current, depending on the level. No rapids. A couple of dams to carry over or around. Some sweepers on the outside of bends. Weather is predicted to be warm and sunny. Good way to start the paddling season.

I don't usually paddle with that big a group but it's great fun. So many different designs of boats, ages and social classes of people enjoying the water at once is awesome.
