SUMMARY:RiverPalooza: Upper Potomac Paddle
DESCRIPTION:Paddle trips on the Potomac River\, a few miles downriver from Harpers Ferry\, are a perfect getaway and only one hour from DC and Baltimore beltways. Launch from Brunswick Campground in Brunswick\, Maryland\, just 15 minutes from Harpers Ferry\, WV. \n\n\n\nThis 5.5 mile section of the Potomac River has been described in National Park literature as\, “one of the most beautiful stretches of navigable waterways in the mid-Atlantic.” Visit sand and gravel beaches\, wade or go for a swim\, and explore the Catoctin Creek tributary as water levels permit. \n\n\n\nEnjoy watching the eagles soar above and spotting the many other birds that call this area home.  All ages will enjoy exploring on this Potomac River paddling trip. \n\n\n\nRiver islands with shell\, rock\, or sandy beaches are available for stopping and relaxing.  Beach your kayaks or canoes on Eagle Island or elsewhere to wade in the water\, relax\, and enjoy refreshments as you bask in the sun or shade.  Native American fish traps are a treasure resting on the bottom of the Potomac River and can be seen from aerial photos.   Bring your fishing pole for small mouth bass and catfish found on this kayaking rental near Harpers Ferry in Brunswick\, Maryland.   \n\n\n\nAs a bonus\, the meet-up location is at the Brunswick Family Campground! This is a great opportunity to relax on the grounds after our paddle. Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind experience! \n\n\n\n\nrEGISTER TODAY\n\n\n\n\nTRIP Details\n\n\n\nLead Riverkeeper: Brent Walls – 443-480-8970 or brent@potomacriverkeeper.org \n\n\n\nArrival Location: \n\n\n\nBrunswick Family Campground301-834-9950 40 Canal RoadBrunswick\, MD 21716 \n\n\n\nArrival & Check-in Time: 11:30amShuttle to Put-In: 12 noonPaddle Level: BeginnerMinimum age requirement: 12 years old & 90 lbs. \n\n\n\nPricing: \n\n\n\n\nKayak: $100\n\n\n\nBYOB: $75 (Canoe or Kayak)\n\n\n\n\nIncluded with each registration: \n\n\n\n\nQualified Instructors\n\n\n\nSingle Rental Kayak/ Canoe\n\n\n\nPaddles\n\n\n\nPaddle insurance\n\n\n\nPersonal flotation device for the day (with rental)\n\n\n\nPRKN Clean Water Act 50th anniversary commemorative t-shirt\n\n\n\none -year PRKN membership to support the Shenandoah Riverkeeper and clean water\n\n\n\n\nHow to Register\n\n\n\nA waiver must be signed online (in advance) for you to be registered:\n\n\n\n\nOutfitter waiver – Participant Rental waiver (print and bring in person)\n\n\n\n\nAlso to do in advance:\n\n\n\n\nRead Paddle Rules\n\n\n\n\nWhat to Bring:\n\n\n\n\nWear proper footwear.
