Safety Guidelines

  1. Wear your life jacket and keep it snug.
  2. Dress in layers and bring some clothes in a waterproof bag.
  3. The river may not be cleared. Watch for and avoid fallen trees or branches reaching into the water. If you capsize near a log, get on top to avoid entrapment by underwater limbs. Walk around any hazard about which you have a doubt. Always portage a dam.
  4. Do not go into faster water unless you are sure you can safely paddle through. Do not paddle in flood waters or after heavy rain.
  5. Carry a map, keep track of your location, bring a cell phone in a waterproof bag, and in case of emergency, call 911 and give the location of the nearest bridge.
  6. Learn to control your boat and paddle with people who know the river. Tell someone your plans and expected return time. Consider taking a paddling clinic or class and/or joining a club.
