What to Expect

The Moonlight Paddle starts at the Outpost as the sun begins to set, launching in twilight and travelling about 3 miles, 90 minutes or so downstream to the state park pavilions where a full spread of food and soft drinks will be waiting for you. We strive to impress with our menu and keep it different every paddle, so check the posted menus and make sure the options provided will work for you and your diet. We'll warm up by the fire, toast some s'mores, and enjoy some entertainment such as live music or variety/circus arts. After we've had our fill, we'll complete the trip under the luminescent glow of the moon, another 60-90 minutes of paddling, and travel downstream to our busses staged at Fish Camp waiting to transport you and your boats back to the Outpost. Total trip time 4 hours, approx. 7-11 pm. Total trip distance 6 miles.
