    There are 3 kayaks available for use with life jackets. If people have their own equipment please bring it.

    CIWC requires all participants to wear a life jacket while on the water event.

    Transportation Plan: (the number of people depends on who has equipment, only 3 kayaks available.) The resident kayaks are behind the clubhouse/office building. I will meet people in front of the building at 8 am. If people bring their own equipment, then we can accommodate as many as want to come. There is fishing in this 80-acre lake as well. The lake looks like a big @ on the map and has a bridge to paddle under to access both parts of the lake. The entrance to the complex is on River Road/79th St, NOT on Ruth drive!


    Required Gear/Clothing: bring your own Kayak, paddle and life jacket. (only 3 public kayaks available) water, snack, and fishing equipment if desired.


    CIWC requires all participants to wear a life jacket while on the water event.
