LHYC PADDLERS

To join the LHYC Paddlers, and to be included on the e-mail list for event information, please contact Willa at surfbandit@aol.com

Started in 2008, the group plans 5 to 6 paddle events a year. Kayaks, canoes and paddle boards are welcome. Beginning in May, there is usually 1 paddle per month.  Paddlers may participate in any or all events.  These are casual paddles.  Speed is not the priority - fun is!

A popular event is our “Full Moon Paddle." Every few years, weather permitting, we end the season with a trick-or-treat paddle in October.  Our largest event to date saw 56 paddlers on the lake!

Most outings span 2 hours on the water and most events involve chow and cheer. Great fun and camaraderie await those who skim the surface of the water with LHYC friends.  Every year offers a variety of venues, themes, and events, depending on the sponsor. Sponsors volunteer and coordinate with the chair to develop and manage an outing.  

Some of the paddle events are "off lake" and require schlepping your vessel elsewhere. These vary from the marshes of the Meadowlands to rivers and reservoirs. Information including times, details, reminders, and changes are sent out via e-mail prior to each event to people on the paddlers email list. Rain, snow, ice, hurricanes and low head count will cancel events.
