Community – Paddle Club


Welcome to our new members who signed up at the QWS on March 5th.  57 new emails have been added to the list.  We are a group of paddlers who try to get together once a week when the weather warms, I've attached a calendar of paddles and events for 2011. 

High fuel prices and ecological concerns has increased interest in non-powered outdoor sports, this has spurred interest in canoes, kayaks and paddling the Grand River.  Eaton Rapids Paddle Club celebrates non-motorized outdoor recreation and a shared concern for our Great Lakes environment.
