Once again, Sebago Canoe Club and the National Park Service invite paddlers from area clubs to gather at Fort Wadsworth for an overnight encampment.  The trip is open to 8 members from each area club incl. Yonkers, Long Island City, North Brooklyn, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and Red Hook.  We will camp in our own tents, have a joint BBQ and drinks at the campfire.

The paddle to the Fort is around 15 miles long and can be very challenging. It is for our experienced paddlers only!  Depending on the weather conditions and our ambitions, we can explore the Jersey shore on the way out or circle around Swinburne Island.

We will have to bring all our gear, incl. sleeping bag and pad, utensils, dry clothes, warm layers, food and snacks and will paddle with loaded, heavier boats.  There will be running water and bathrooms at the camp site, but the next bodega is a little walk away.

More details to follow.
