Bring Your Own Boat (BYOB)

Spend a lovely day on the water exploring the Glenmore Reservoir and then do lunch nearby after.
Visit the shoreline or head to the Weaselhead area to observe wildlife. We'll have the boats on the water at 10am and be off the water by 12pm. Beginners are welcome. There is no formal lesson, but will be assisted and accompanied until comfortable. Indicate when you sign up if you're going. I am usually wearing a red cap.

Distance: Approx 8km round trip.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

From 14 ST SW, (south of Glenmore Trail) turn west into Heritage Drive SW towards Heritage Park. Do not go into the first carpark you see. The boat landing/dock area is right next to the main entrance of the park. You'll see a lot of sailing boats parked around there. We'll be gathering around the picnic tables where the boats will be. DON'T go to the Sailing Club, or the Canoe Club.
