- options to stay an extra night on the lake, but I will accompany anyone down the lake, as needed
- I have led many paddling adventures (inc. paddling Clearwater Lake many times) and will be there to ensure safe practices, in the unlikely event of a spill, for direct rescue, and to support/advise the group on gear, etc., as needed
- This event is now full, but cancellations may occur.
- If there is interest, other paddle and hike trips can be organized (more information link).
- Hikes are planned for the rest of the year, with some to be listed on the KHC site. The full list is updated regularly – link.
