Kayaking at Wallkill River NWR (Owens Station Road, Vernon)

We will be kayaking on the lake at Wallkill River NWR (Owens Station Road). This is always a fun trip to paddle around the lake for a few hours in the late spring! It is an easily accessible entry to the kayaks. All boats and supplies are provided by the refuge. Please bring a hat, sunscreen and water. There is a $10 donation per person. Inclement weather will cancel. This is a great trip for both beginners and knowledgeable paddlers. 

We will meet at the clubhouse at 10:45am to carpool. 

Please RSVP if you are planning on attending so we can let the Refuge know how many kayaks to have available.  RSVP to Donna at dtraylor@ptd.net and Doreen (mad4paws@optionline.net). Open to all Social Members.
