Cost: Park entrance fee $5.00/car. (No kayak rentals available)
Join Chris and other Club paddlers and guests for a 4-mile estuary paddle at this beautiful park on the York River. This historic area was part of the Powhatan chiefdom. Paddle through the Catlett Islands with a diverse wildlife, ecosystem, and history of the park. The estuary is slow-moving tidal water, and high tide at this location is approximately 3:00pm . We will launch at the Cartop Boat launch, its about a 6oo foot schlep to the launch – we will assist each other with the carry. The Park Entrance Fee is $5.00 per car; it is a 30-minute drive.
There are historic sites and exhibits, trails, and overlooks, and a perfect loop trail for biking. It’s a lovely park! You can feel the history of this unspoiled place, it’s been inhabited for over 10,000 years.
The plan is to leave Kingsmill at 11 AM and return approximately 4:00pm.
