Canton Kayak Club Social Outlets

the season.
These outings are enjoyed by our 'newbies' and

lovely way to unwind with new kayak

Club Enhancements
ISLAND VIEW WATERFRONT CAFE DOCK
Added late in the 2009 season and providing members access to a huge new
region of the Chesapeake Bay water! Paddle the
Middle and the Back River tributaries and
explore Hart Miller Island! We stocked this dock with the longer 17'
Venture kayaks because of the
access to the wide open bay conditions. We are
recommending that this location be used by
confident and experienced CKC paddlers ONLY if
paddling to Hart Miller Island. If you
are less experienced and still want to explore this
location we recommend that when leaving the Island
View launch that you go LEFT and stay against
the shoreline. By taking this route there are plenty
of beautiful bay coves to explore without the open
bay conditions.
We
are implementing a 'Kayak Usage Log Book' to be used for
member safety at the Island View Waterfront Cafe
Dock. Members MUST sign-out kayaks by
stating your trip details: date and time when you
leave, your anticipated return, and your contact
info. The Log Book can be found in a wooden box on
the kayak rack, you can't miss it. Happy Kayaking!
**If you have any questions about this new, required
procedure please contact your CKC Board at
info@cantonkayakclub.com.
