Safety Tips |
|
| Always study the shoreline on the chart and review exit points. Plan your trip before you leave shore. Inform someone of your plans. | |
| Practice your paddling skills and know what you are doing! Wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved personal floatation device | |
| Travel with a companion and make yourself conspicuous. Kayaks and canoes are not easily seen by larger boats. | |
| Dress appropriately for the weather and for the water temperature. Hypothermia is a killer! | |
| Be prepared for emergencies. Extra items to carry with you might include a paddle, rain gear, lights and a compass. | |
| Respect private homes and property. Please take breaks only on publicly owned land or designated access sites. | |
| Anticipate changes in the weather. Early morning fog is common. Use your common sense and use caution. | |
