Please note that this event will be one week later than
Most people travel & arrive on Thursday afternoon or evening, and depart on Sunday afternoon. But some arrive sooner and leave later, so there can be paddling and other activities in the days before or after the event.

In 2022 We moved our base of operations to Rose Eden, and it worked well as a gathering spot. A number of yearly attendees will have already reserved at Rose Eden.
For those who plan to stay eleswehere, there is a wide variety of accommodations in the area , including nearby campgrounds which have been popular.
