We will be meeting at 11:00 at Hidden Valley Park in Madison, Ohio for the TCT scheduled paddle on the Grand River. The section to be paddled will depend on temperature, and water levels, a determination will be made at the time of the meeting;

Air temp over 50 degrees, and water levels 2' or more-
Hidden Valley to Masons Landing in Painesville twp, approx. 12.5 miles
many short sections class 1, three or four sections class 1-2
Air temp sub 50 degrees, water levels 1' - 4' -
Harpersfield covered bridge back to Hidden Valley, approx. 8.3 miles
two or three sections class 1
Air temp sub 50 degrees, and water levels below 1'-
Tote Road acces area Austinburg, to Harpersfield covered bridge, approx. 5 miles. Flat with a section to class 1

With the extreme weather as of late, any planning other than lunch (bringing the Subway party platter again) is pretty futile. Please dress appropriately for conditions forecasted for your date with the Grand. The Grand will challenge and amaze all paddlers, and punish those ignorant and without respect, especially early season. Feel free to call with any questions: Rich (440) 228-3261.
