Event Information
- Description
- This canoe lesson, distinct from our kayak lesson, teaches you how to work as a team to make a tandem canoe go where you want to go, and gives you the canoe lake rating needed to go on outing club canoe trips and on Lake Mendota when it warms up. Meet at 2034 Yahara Place 53704 (E Madison on Lake Monona by the volleyball court in Yahara Place Park) (google for directions). We work on paddle stroke refinement on shore, than launch canoes on the Lake, staying close to shore because of the cold water. I will have the canoes, paddles and floatation vests on hand, you only need to get there and be dressed warmly in layers to paddle a canoe on this spring day, and wear shoes or sandals that can get wet from paddle splash and from stepping and and out of the boats at the shore. You might consider bringing extra clothes in a plastic bag in the (hopefully unlikely) event of an upset. Beginners and experienced canoers welcome. No swim test is offered because the water is still too cold.
