SUMMARY:San Juan River\, from Montezuma Creek to Sand Island
DESCRIPTION:Class 1 Paddle with Camping\nThree spots have opened up!  Please contact Karen A to join the fun. \nJune 3\, 2026\nCamp at the upstream end (FCFS\, 2 vehicles $15 site) of the Sand Island Campground\, if possible\, to make the shuttle easy.  Otherwise\, arrange to join the shuttle. \nJune 4\, 2026 \nShuttle cars and put-in near the High School in Montezuma Creek.  Paddle about 10 miles downstream\, checking out small ruins when we see them.  Pull over on the Navajo side near the washed out footbridge concrete abutment and set up camp here.  Hike 2.2 miles round trip to the Casa del Eco — a very nice 17-room ruin. \nJune 5\, 2026\nPaddle the 8 miles to Sand Island\, looking for the “Dance Hall” ruin and other sites on river left.  Arrive and complete the shuttle. \nCosts:\nNote that we will get a free permit from the BLM section as well as a Navajo camp/hike permit for $15 per person to cover our time on the left bank\, which is all in the Navajo Reservation. \nContact:\nKaren A at canoekarena@msn.com to sign up for this trip.  We want 800 to 3000 cfs for this trip and it may be cancelled if it is outside of this range.  Limit:  10 people. \nPreferred craft:\nHard-sided craft (canoe or kayak) preferred but strong inflatable paddlers can discuss with Karen A. \nACA Insurance Waivers\nIf you are a current ACA member as of June 3 and have communicated with Karen A and approved for the trip\, you are all set. \nIf you are not an annual member of the ACA\, you need to purchase an Event Membership/Waiver after communicating with Karen A and verifying you are registered for the trip. \nYou can try out the ACA new system for on-line ACA event membership/waivers.   When doing the on-line event waiver use the event name:  Montezuma.  Use the date:  June 4-5\, 2026. \nIf you want to pay the $10 fee at the put in\, you can sign an Event Waiver online using this link:  https://aca.sport80.com/public/wizard/a/1370/home.  This wizard will have you create an account with the ACA without becoming a full-fledged ACA member.   This waiver will not collect the $10 fee in advance. \nIf you want to create an Event Waiver and pay the fee directly to the ACA\, use this link:  https://aca.sport80.com/public/wizard/a/1371/home. Again\, you will be creating an account with the ACA just for the purpose of signing and paying for an event waiver.  No refunds if you pay for the waiver in advance\, even if the event is cancelled. \nDownload and print the proof of waiver the ACA sends you and bring to the put in.  We are not likely to have internet access to see it on your phone. \nPaper event waivers are still available.  Print your own using NEW ACA WAIVER.  Payments to Karen A should be in cash or by check payable to the ACA. \nSafe Paddling\nTo keep our events both fun and safe for everyone\, each participant needs to have the skills and the equipment appropriate to the waters and the weather.  Each participant is the first judge of whether they have the skills and equipment necessary\, but trip coordinators have the final say. Please read the RMCC Requirements and Recommendations for ACA-Sanctioned Events

SUMMARY:San Juan River from near confluence with Navajo River / Class 1+ day paddles or Sea Kayaking
DESCRIPTION:Dates:  June 5 – June 8\, 2026\nJune 5 – Camp in the Navajo State Park CO at the Arboles Point Campground in the  small group sites #1 or #2 at 1pm or later.  Early people may want to paddle on Navajo Reservoir from the campsite to the mouth of the Piedras River and to the mouth of the San Juan River if time and weather permits.  Trip leader and a few people will be coming here from the Montezuma Creek to Sand Island trip and will likely arrive sometime in the evening. \nRiver Options with Karen \nJune 6 – Shuttle cars and put-in upstream on the San Juan River 1 mile past the Juanita Road bridge.  Paddle the 15 or so miles to our chosen takeout which is the Cottonwood access (in the State Park).  Sea kayakers may paddle an additional 6+ miles to our campground on the lake if they want.  Complete the shuttle and return to camp. \nJune 7 – Shuttle cars and put-in upstream on the Piedra River about 4 miles above the USFS 613 bridge (aka hwy 193).  Paddle about 9 miles to the early takeout which is the Day Use area within the CO Navajo Reservoir State Park.  Those willing to handle some wind and lake waves can continue 2 miles to where the lake starts and another 1.5 miles to the Windsurf Beach Campground as it is the closest lake takeout. \nJune 8 – Sea kayakers could paddle from our Arboles Point Campground out into Navajo Reservoir and explore a side canyon or 2.  Canoers may opt to repeat the Piedra or San Juan paddle (below the Ute waters and into the lake) or find a hiking trail or visit Chimney Rock.  Evacuate the campsites by noon. \n(Still deciding if we will get 3 or 4 nights at Arboles Point\, so June 9 – Evacuate the campsites by noon may not be an option.) \nNote that you will need a Colorado State Park pass or need to pay the entry fee daily.  Each camp site provides for up to 8 people\, 4 vehicles\, and 1 camping unit (like a popup); primitive\, so no water or electricity but there are toilets.  Therefore we will split the $20/night camping fee for 3 or 4 nights among the number of people that we have.   The first 2 days require Southern Ute fishing licenses ($20) or guest licenses ($5\, max 1:1).  Due to the exploratory nature of this trip and the site limits we will hold it to 10 or 12 people max. \nContact Karen A. at canoekarena@msn.com to sign up.  Note that we want at least 300 or 400cfs for this trip and it may be cancelled or shifted to lake paddling only if it is too little water for our nice boats.  Prefer canoes and sea kayaks; talk to Karen if you have something else. \nAdditional Options for Sea Kayakers\n\nGary Cage and Ann Fiore are joining Karen Amundson on her Navajo Reservoir Outing.\n\nKaren’s focus at Navajo will be putting in on the San Juan River and the Piedra River above the state park property and paddling into the Reservoir.\n\nKaren and I each have reserved a group site (site 501 and 502) at the Arboles Point Primitive Area (Friday June 5th to Tues June 9th) and we can accommodate a couple more vehicles.  (The state park limits per site are 4 vehicles\, 12 people and 2 camping units).\n\n\n\nGary and I will be limiting our outings to within the state park and will be in sea kayaks.  Here are our exploratory paddle thoughts:\n\n\n\n(1) Launch from our campsite at Arboles Point and paddle as far as we can up the San Juan and as far as we can up the Piedra then explore the area between our campsite and the main state park area;\n\n(2) Launch from the day use are on the Piedra River and paddle to our campsite and further if time permits;\n\n(3)  Launch from the Cottonwood Access point on the San Juan and paddle to our campsite and beyond if time permits;\n\n(4) drive to the main launch area and paddle south on the lake and back.\n\n\nNotes:\n\n*  Expect wind every day.\n\n*  We did paddle at Navajo about 15 years ago but haven’t been back since then\, so this is an exploratory outing.\n\n*  We are bringing our Prion sea kayaks which are durable as we are not sure what the river sections will be like (though we do expect those to be class 1 but not sure how rocky they will be).\n\n*  We’ll be able to view some parts of the river from the road but not all.\nACA Waivers\nIf you are a current ACA member as of June 5\, 2026 you are all set.  The ACA has a new system for online Event Membership/Waivers for those who are not annual members. \nWhen doing the on-line waiver use the event name:  Abole Point.  Use the date:  June 5-8\, 2026.   If you are not an ACA member and want to pay at the put in\, you can sign an Event Waiver online using this link:  https://aca.sport80.com/public/wizard/a/1370/home.  This wizard will have you create an account with the ACA without becoming a full-fledged ACA member.   This waiver will not collect the $10 fee in advance.  If you want to create an Event Waiver and pay the fee directly to the ACA\, use this link:  https://aca.sport80.com/public/wizard/a/1371/home. Again\, you will be creating an account with the ACA just for the purpose of signing and paying for an event waiver.  Warning: No refunds if you pay for the waiver in advance even if the event if cancelled.  Make sure you are approved for the trip before paying the ACA. \nPaper Event Membership/Waivers are still an option.  Print (NEW ACA WAIVER) in advance or use the form your trip coordinator has at the put in. Pay $10 cash or pay by check payable to the ACA to the trip coordinator before you get on the water.    Minor waivers are at: AMERICAN CANOE ASSOCIATION\, INC \nSafe Paddling\nTo keep our events both fun and safe for everyone\, each participant needs to have the skills and the equipment appropriate to the waters and the weather.  Each participant is the first judge of whether they have the skills and equipment necessary\, but trip coordinators have the final say.

SUMMARY:Chatfield Paddlefest
DESCRIPTION:June 13\, 2026\nThe Rocky Mountain Sea Kayak Club (RMSKC) has scheduled its traditional Paddlefest Potluck at the Marina Point Group Shelter. This year will be a joint event with RMCC because RMSKC is disbanding and many of its members are joining RMCC. This is an opportunity to welcome new kayaking members and paddle on the reservoir. RMSKC let each other try out boats on Chatfield Reservoir. Bring your canoes and duckies and such to introduce your favorite boats to sea kayakers.  Marina Point group picnic area is located west of the South Boat Ramp area. Here is map: https://rockymountaincanoeclub.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/chatfield-map.pdf \nTrip Organizer will be Leslie Taylor (LeslieCopelandT@gmail.com).  You can reserve your spot either by emailing Leslie or registering at the RMSKC website RMSKC.org.  https://rmskc.clubexpress.com/content.aspx?page_id=4091&club_id=287975&item_id=2861040 \nPot Luck\nLeslie will grill burgers and hot dogs for you if you ask her to.  Bring meat\, salads or desserts or whatever to share.  Bring your own plates and utensils. \nACA Liability Insurance\nThis is a trip with ACA liability insurance.  If you are a current ACA member on June 13\, 2026\, you are all set. Non-ACA members who plan to get on the water need to purchase an “Event Membership” and pay the ACA’s $10 fee. \nYou can print (NEW ACA WAIVER) in advance or fill out the form your trip coordinator has at the put in. Pay $10 cash or pay by check payable to the ACA to the trip coordinator before you get on the water. Minor waivers are at: AMERICAN CANOE ASSOCIATION\, INC \nAnother option is to use the new ACA Online event waivers.  When doing the on-line waiver use the event name: Paddlefest.  Use the date: June 13\, 2026.  You can sign an Event Waiver online using this link:  https://aca.sport80.com/public/wizard/a/1370/home.  This wizard will have you create an account with the ACA without becoming a full-fledged ACA member.   This waiver will not collect the $10 fee in advance.  Take $10 cash (or a check to ACA) to the put in.  If you want to create an Event Waiver and pay the fee directly to the ACA\, use this link:  https://aca.sport80.com/public/wizard/a/1371/home. Again\, you will be creating an account with the ACA just for the purpose of signing and paying for an event waiver.  Warning: No refunds if you pay the ACA for the event waiver in advance even if the event is cancelled.   You should print of download on your phone your waiver receipt and bring it to the put in. \nHelp Needed\nLeslie will need someone to help keep an eye on who shows up\, gather waivers and insurance fees and such.  We also need helpers down at the water to supervise folks trying out boats that may be unfamiliar to them. We need folks on the water to keep track of paddlers and make sure all get back to the put in. \nSafe Paddling Guidelines \nLake Chatfield has many power boats and waves can build up.  However\, there are No Wake zones.  We will stay in the No Wake zones when possible and call this a flat-water event. Depending on water level\, we usually can launch boats on the beach near Marina Point Group Shelter. The paddle plan is to head south to the No Wake Zone and toward the Gravel Pond and upstream the South Platte River until it is time to turn around.  Please do not paddle alone.  Form a pod and stay with your group. Parking can get crowded\, so come early.  Chatfield day permits are $10\, but your “Keep Colorado Wild” Pass will cover the fee.  https://cpw.state.co.us/keep-colorado-wild-pass \nIn order to maintain our liability insurance\, it’s important that all members and guests read and follow our safe paddling guidelines.
