GREATS NEXT PADDLE IS ON THE GRAND RIVER ON SATURDAY JULY 13.

A PATH HAS BEEN CLEARED THE FULL LENGTH OF THIS PADDLE.  THERE IS LOTS OF PADLING FROM SIDE TO SIDE, WITH MANY SHARP AND NARROW TURNS. FOR THIS REASON, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND USING A CANOE, UNLESS YOU ARE EXPERIENCED PADDLERS.  KAYAKS SHOUD NOT HAVE MUCH OF An ISSUE.
