Be there at 9:30 in the morning to get ready to paddle your canoe or kayak down river to Readyville. This is a beautiful section of the river. If the weather and water conditions cooperate, it will be a wonderful day on the water. Remember, you have to wear a life jacket and clothing appropriate for the weather conditions.
