2007 Cold Spring Kayak Club Paddles and Other Events

Note: It is up to each paddler to recognize the limits of her/his paddling ability and act accordingly. Join us for a paddle only when you are comfortable doing so.

Important Note: Since we are now ACA affiliated, only 2007 club members can join club events for free. Guests must pay $10 guest fee and sign a day waiver.

Questions about a Paddle? Call 914-213-3421

Pre-registration is highly recommended. We can provide information on equipment needed for each type of paddle. We will consider your skill level and type of equipment you own. There is a big difference between doing a swamp versus the Hudson River! Registering will give us information about you in case of cancellations. Mandatory registration for all camping/paddles.
Some members have extra kayaks to LOAN. (WE DO NOT RENT; contact local outfitters for rentals.)
