Paddlers in the region can choose between loops and point-to-point paddles, each offering a unique experience. Loops conveniently bring you back to your starting point, making them an easy option for those without shuttle logistics. Point-to-point paddles, on the other hand, require planning for drop-off and pick-up, but allow you to cover more distance and experience a greater variety of scenery along the way. Let’s explore some options!
