This is a flatwater paddle on a reservoir appropriate for beginners. We will talk about safe boating and if you have not boated before, we will provide you with tips. We will paddle together for around 2 hours and learn about the water quality and natural history at Emigrant Lake. Kids 6 years and older are welcome but it is recommended that younger children be in a boat with an adult.

You must provide your own boat (canoe, kayak, or stand-up paddle boards are fine), paddle, and PFD.

The Public Lands Store in Medford rents suitable boats and there are stand-up paddle board rentals locally. The Public Lands Store in Medford is offering FREE rental of a boat, pfd, and paddle if you are participating in this Rogue Riverkeeper event.
