August 2025 Full Moon Paddle

This month's full moon is known at the Sturgeon Moon and paddleboarding is a great way to view it's splendor. Let's meet up at Jefferson Springs Recreation Area Boat Ramp in Smyrna on Percy Priest Lake around 6pm and be ready to launch by 6:30pm. We'll paddle to the far end of Trigger Island to enjoy the sun set before making our way back around the island while the full moon rises. You must have a 360 degree white light on your paddleboard to legally paddle after dark. Feel free to have glow sticks and other colorful lights on your board or persons for added fun. For this event, wearing a life jacket will be mandatory after dark. As always don't depend on Facebook's directions. Jefferson Springs is located on Jefferson Pike (also known as Hwy 266) between Nissan Blvd and I-840 in Smyrna, Tennesse.

Please be aware that we must launch on time to catch the sunset. Also after dark, we must remain in a tight grouping, close to shore to avoid any boating traffic in the main channel. As always, we do not discriminate against our fellow kayakers, so feel free to join in!
