Event Information

Description
Joint paddle with Mad City Paddlers (MCP), contingent on recruiting a Hoofers Leader. Also open to those in town for HOOFERPALOOZA. Bring your own boat and gear. Here's a copy of the MCP announcement:

MAY 6 (WED) – GOVERNOR’S ISLAND - TRIP LEADER: JONATHAN BEERS
Join Jonathan for an evening paddle on Lake Mendota. In low winds this is suitable for beginners, but waves and motorboat wakes can be difficult for inexperienced lake paddlers. The water may still be cold, so dress accordingly. Info on water temperature is at: http://infosyahara.org/temp_mendota
Put-in information: Take Northport Drive (Hwy 113) to Troy Drive west for 1.2 miles. Turn left on Main Drive into Mendota Mental Health Institute grounds. Then take a left on Cinder Lane. Just before entering the Governor's Island parking lot, follow the gravel road to the left onto a small peninsula. To view a map of the put-in on the Web, go to http://tinyurl.com/k2b339u
Be ready to paddle at 6 PM. If it is very windy, Jon may direct the group to the Warner Park lagoon for a safer paddle. For more info, contact Jonathan at j_beers@hotmail.com or 608-516-7915
