Extend your Saturday 5/20/23 Eco-experience on Sunday 5/21 with fun paddle in the bay.  You can tell me all about the Eco class.

 

Sunday 5/21 - 10:00 AM: We all shove off from the East Matagorda Bay Paddlesports kayak put-in on the east side of the road leading to the beach (FM 2031/Beach Road), about 1 1/4 miles from the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway bridge. Please arrive early in order to shove off at 10 am.

Paddle the bay, following the SW shoreline if the winds indicate that's our best option.

 

3:00 PM – no later than 4:00 PM: Take out.

Hazards:

  • Heat and sun. Bring sufficient water and sun protection.
  • Bugs. Bring insect repellent
  • Participants should dress appropriately. Sturday paddle shoes are recommended. A spare set of after-paddling dry clothes will be good to bring.
CAMPING

Participants might consider booking a campsite at either the LCRA campground get a room in Matagorda if so desired.
