Itinerary:

This event was originally posted for May 31 but due to high river flow has been rescheduled for this date.

Edmonton Canoe (an Edmonton outfit) will shuttle the group by bus to Devon, we will then paddle in tandem canoes along the historic North Saskatchewan River from Devon to Edmonton. Enroute we will make a stop for lunch.

All participants must wear life jackets at all times while on the water.
All participants must know how to swim.
Approximately 5-7 hours will be spent on the river depending on water level.
In the notes section when you sign up, please let me know your level of expertise. Do you steer? Do you need a competant person in the stern? I will be pairing up everyone according to skill level, but you can request to paddle with someone.
