McIntosh After-Work Social Paddle (NW Longmont)

Launch at 6 pm. Take out approximately 8 pm

Macintosh Lake, in NW Longmont,  makes a great casual evening paddle. Views of Longs Peak as the sun sets are great. Stroke practice and paddle exercise is possible or simply enjoy a casual conversational paddle. 

Plan to launch at 6 pm. We will paddle around the lake once or twice, depending on the desires of the group. We should be off the water before dark. Launch along the south side of the lake from Lakeshore Dive, Longmont, CO 80503. (near the intersection of Lakeshore Drive and Harbor Lane). Feel free to contact coordinator ahead of event if you are unfamiliar with the lake and launch location. 

The lake is a popular evening spot for SUPs and other users, so be sure to arrive in enough time to unload your boat and re-park your car (there is a 15 minute loading area and then parking along the road a bit further away.) Wheels are desirable if you have them, but not essential– there is usually someone to help carry your boat from the loading area or share their wheels!

This is an ACA paddle, so membership, or a one time $10 event fee is required.

With unpredictable afternoon weather, coordinator will confirm–or cancel–with those who’ve expressed interest around 4 pm. So, be sure to RSVP  if you plan to paddle. (this does not commit you, but gets you on the list to receive last minute confirmation/cancellation/updates.)
