Kayak MississippiSaturday, October 13 - Phatwater Kayak Challenge on the Mississippi River. The Phatwater Kayak Challenge is the premier paddling event on the Mighty Mississippi. It’s a grueling, 42.5 mile, paddle endurance race from the port at Grand Gulf, near Port Gibson, Mississippi, to the Natchez Landing, at Natchez Under-The-Hill.

Depending on the paddler, and the craft, the Phatwater will take anywhere from 4 and a half to six and a half hours to complete.

Florida RendezvousOctober 26 - 28: Florida Paddlers' Rendezvous. Sponsored by our friends the West Florida Canoe and Kayak Club and held at Adventures Unlimited, on the pristine Coldwater Creek in the Florida Panhandle.

Experience firsthand the splendor of the white sandbars of such natural gems as spring-fed Boiling Creek and Turkey Creek; the tannin-stained waters of the Blackwater River, Juniper Creek, the Yellow River and countless other waterways. If you like paddling in pristine, wilderness areas, sawgrass estuaries or white sand beaches or even all three - this weekend is for you.

Don't forget to get your permit for Eglin Air Force Base so you can paddle the creeks there! Call 850-882-4164.

There's no General Membership Meeting this month - see you at Paddlefest!
