SK: East Fork State Park / Wm Harsha Lake, May 15-17th, Friday - Sunday

Group Size: 12

Join us for a weekend of paddling, skills, and camping at East Fork State Park.  This is an introductory class for learning kayak camping skills.

This trip to EFSP offers the opportunity to kayak camp at the primitive backcountry camp sites located around the lake. We will also be working on rescues and rolls on the water while enjoying the scenery.  If you prefer not to primitive camp please feel free to utilize the front country campsites at the campground and we can meet up when we put out on the water.
