 ‘snow date’ of April 5th

Often a casual flatwater (class I) day trip, suitable for novices, families. BUT it depends on what flows we get! Even at lower water levels, the dams (see below) are more challenging portages than before the 2013 flood and there may be strainers if you end up in the wrong channel.

**Extra caution is always recommended for flows above 800 cfs for novices & families. Check the Kersey Bridge Flow Gauge:

Join us for a casual Class I paddle from Riverside Park to:
 Kersey Bridge (9 miles)
 Kuner Bridge (15 miles)

This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow paddlers and enjoy a relaxed day on the water!

Meet at the put-in at Riverside Park in Evans, CO at 9:00 a.m. Park restoration was completed in 2018 after devastation by the September 2013 floods. Directions: From the stop light in the middle of Evans on highway 85, go ½ mile east on 37 th Street. Turn right onto Riverside Parkway – at a prominent Riverside Park sign. Go 1/4 mile south through the neighborhood into the park. Drive past the parking area to a turn-around near the restroom building (restrooms may be closed) between the ball fields and the river, drop your boats, and move your car back to the parking area to make room for others. Follow the main path past a bench then turn down a paved spur to a sandy beach to launch.

Please unload boats and equipment promptly, hand in waivers to your club coordinator or to Anne Fiore and be ready to shuttle by 9:30
