Length of Trip (hours/days): 7 – 8 km round trip depending on where we stop at Air Force Beach. 2 – 2 1/2 hours
Maximum People: No Limit
Other Conditions: Suitable for sea/touring kayaks with standard recommended safety gear. See Trip Ratings on Comox Valley Paddlers website for detailed info on Level 1 Day Paddle. This may be upgraded to 2A if it’s windy. Be sure to check the website or FaceBook page on the day of the paddle.
Notes: Lots of parking, but make sure you have current club stickers on your cars. Otherwise you’re expected to pay to use the boat launch.
