June 21 - 9:00 George Washington Canal
With State and local governments starting to ease COVID-19 restrictions, we will again use the Sunday Paddlers list to issue invitations for trips aimed at less experienced paddlers and families each week. We want to do so in as safe a manner as possible; please review the CCA COVID-19 safety tips if you haven't already done so -
at Trip Gidelines on this tab) - or click: (https://canoecruisers.clubexpress.com/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=394800&module_id=223946) - -
Our first paddle will be the George Washington canal loop trip on June 21st. For any newcomers, this is a Class I-II trip. We meet at the Violette's Lock parking lot (13948 Violettes Lock Rd, Poolesville MD), cross the Potomac to the George Washington canal on the Virginia side, run the canal, come back across the Potomac and return to Violettes Lock via the flatwater C&O canal, thus avoiding the need for a shuttle. Total trip length is about three miles. PFDs are required for all; helmets are highly recommended, especially for kayakers. If you need safety equipment, please advise. The predicted water level is 3.6' on the Little Falls gauge, a moderately high level for the GW.
Weekend parking has been difficult at Violettes Lock this spring so we will meet at 9:00. If there are ten or more paddlers we will divide into groups. In order to facilitate trip planning please be sure to advise me at macinmd1@gmail.com or 443 542 8779 if you are planning to join.
