Back by popular demand! The Freewheeler Social Committee invites you join us to Kayak the Raritan River––a 3-hour downriver excursion from Annandale to Flemington on Saturday, October 7. We’re offering a longer trip than last time, as requested by several paddlers.
Please note that this is not an official club-sponsored ride because our insurance does not cover kayaking. All attendees must have a life vest.
Rentals are available from Yellow Dog Kayak Rentals: Singles for $79 and Tandem for $99. Rental includes kayak drop-off, pick-up, and life vest. Two tandems and 8 singles are available on a first come, first served basis. Sign up for rentals at https://yellowdogpaddle.com/register (908) 625-6519. Or you can bring your own kayak and life vest.
We will coordinate cars from put-in to take-out locations with all attendees.
8:00 AM Show-up for put in:
River Road dead-end above YMCA Camp Carr by freshwater pumping station pedestrian bridge.
GPS Coordinates 40.603891, -74.901734
