Benscreek Canoe Club

August meeting of the BCC will be held on Wednesday, August 21. 7 PM at Greenhouse Park.  We will be discussing the fall schedule: Full Moon Paddle and Middle Yough Trip, Halloween Parade, and other events. All are welcome.

Full Moon Paddle tomorrow evening. Friday, Aug 16. We meet anytime after 7 PM at Quemahoning Family Recreation Area. We typically gather at the beach area. Boats must be registered or have a launch permit. PFDs are mandatory. Boats must have a light. We have chem lights to share but many folks choose to use battery powered LED lights to be more interesting. We often paddle a bit before sunset, snack some, then paddle out to watch the moon rise. Later we have a fire on the beach, share snacks, and swap lies about our boating adventures. Bring a folding chair and snacks to share. Good times.

Wow, we get to say this again! Summer is chugging along and on most years Quemahoning Reservoir would be too low for releases. But this summer has been wet enough that the reservoir has enough water for a release. There will be a full whitewater release from Quemahoning Reservoir this weekend (August 10th and 11th). Weather looks great. Go Play!!
