During spring and fall, you may want to dress in layers so that you'll be able to take off your outer layer once we warm up a bit. We recommend wearing shoes in the boat - you'll see many of our paddlers wearing old sneakers, water shoes, or flip-flops. There is no shade on the water, so bring sunglasses and/or a hat and put on sunscreen.Stay hydrated: Bring water bottle or sports drink.
