FAQs
Wear a swimsuit (or swim shorts) under your regular clothes so you can change easily by the river. Bring a towel and warm, dry clothes for after the trip. If the weather is cold or rainy or you get cold easily, bring extra layers to wear under your paddle jacket (polypropylene, fleece, or wool works best when wet). You can also bring water and a snack for the bus ride after the trip.
Store any belongings you bring on the bus during the trip.
