The HCC Touring Kayak Group organizes paddling trips and training for touring and sea kayaks. We typically do overnight trips on Indiana lakes but also have trips to Lake Michigan and Lake Erie on this year's schedule as well as several day trips. Click on the schedule in the left-hand menu to see this year's trips.
Anyone with a touring kayak or sea kayak is welcome to join us. For most trips, we pick locations where paddlers should wear spray skirts. On all trips, paddlers must know how to wet exit from their kayaks. For trips on "bigger water" (e.g., Lake Michigan), we may require that you have a sea kayak and that you have participated in a open water rescue clinic before coming on the trip.
Eagle Creek Evening Paddles: We will have paddles at Eagle Creek on Tuesday afternoon and evenings from May through the end of September. Look at the May 2012 HCC newsletter for details.
E-Mail List for Spontaneous Trips: In addition to schedule events, we have spontaneous events on some week ends. We use the Bulletin Board and a Google E-mail list (IND_TOURING_KAYAKS) to let people know about upcoming events. Watch the Touring Section of the HCC Bulletin Board and contact Jim Sprandel to be added to the E-Mail list.
