Join the Glacier State Paddlers on Saturday, August 27 for an easy, social canoe trip. This trip will start and end on Hwy Q at the bridge over the Oconomowoc River just east of the town of Monches, so no car shuttling will be needed. The canoe trip will begin at 11:30 am and will follow the Oconomowoc River for several miles until it reaches Lowes Lake, part of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. 

After a nice swimming break, we will return to our starting point followed by an optional barbeque dinner at the home of Lynn and Diane Pagenkop after 3 pm. Please bring your meat to grill and alcoholic beverages, plus a dish to pass. A swimming pool is available. Contact Diane Pagenkop at 414-540-1161 or dianegp@wi.rr.com to RSVP for the picnic. Contact GSP and NSCM trip leader Mike Craig at 414-552-5011 or craig8993@gmail.com to reserve a spot on the trip for the paddle and for more information. Bring something to drink and snacks for the canoe trip. Identify yourself as a Nordic Ski Club member. Canoe rental cost will probably be $6.00 per person. Money should be paid directly to Mike. There is no fee if you have your own canoe or kayak.
