Max. People: No, but I suggest carpooling.
Other Conditions: Weather can be a bit unstable and the wind can come up suddenly. If there is any doubt about the weather then the paddle will be shorter. Be sure to bring some warm clothes for the end of the paddle. Bring snacks if you’d like to stay around for a picnic.
Notes: Low tide at 16:12 (2.7 metres). That should be enough to launch from the river rather than the boat launch. Sunset is at 19:56 so there may be time to have an evening picnic.
