Due to a combination of high water, cold temps, and expected rains I am postponing the trip until we have better weather.  Watch for an email.   Please play it safe, most of the local streams are at or near flood levels and the cold weather makes it even more dangerous to be on the water right now.  

Start the New Year out right.  Join the club for a refreshing paddle on January 1 at 10:30 am. This year we plan to run the section of the White River that runs from the old railroad trail in Broad Ripple down to Riverside Park in Indianapolis.  This section should have plenty of water and pose no problems for paddlers of any skill level.  While all types of boats are usable, I would not want to use a sit on top as the water will be cold. 

Pending weather, we will meet behind the Indianapolis Art Center at the put in where E 67th street and Cornell Ave meet.  There is a small parking lot we can use.  It will be cold:  dress properly for your level of comfort.  Bring a dry bag with extra clothes. We will run a shuttle leaving at 11 am.  If you have covid symptoms or are not sure, stay home.  Look for a go-no go email on December 31 by 8 pm.  Questions: dwaynesjamesa1@hotmail.com
