St. Clair Lake-Six Mile Lake Natural Area Community Paddle

Description

Grab your paddleboard, kayak or paddle craft of choice for an amazing evening paddle with Paddle Antrim, Little Traverse Conservancy, and Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy through the St. Clair Lake – Six Mile Lake Natural Area. CAKE CISMA (The Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area Serving Charlevoix, Antrim, Kalkaska, and Emmet Counties) will also join us for this community paddle to give brief remarks about identifying and reporting invasives species as well as how to protect our waterways by practicing Clean, Drain Dry. While out on the paddle we will identify both native and invasive plants. The paddle will begin at St. Clair Lake DNR Boat Access Site (9400 Six Mile Lake Road) at 6:00 pm to check in. At 6:15 pm CAKE CISMA will give remarks and we will launch as a group at 6:30 pm. The St. Clair Lake – Six Mile Lake Natural Area is a 255 acre preserve co-owned and co-managed by the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy and the Little Traverse Conservancy. Learn more here. As with all Paddle Antrim community paddles, we encourage all ages and types of paddle crafts to join us. These paddles last approximately one hour or so on the water, are free, and no pre-registration is required. All paddlers must bring their own craft (kayak, canoe, or paddleboard), paddle, and pfd (life jacket). As with all Paddle Antrim events, pfds must be properly worn at all times. All ages are welcome but children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult out on the water. All paddlers must complete a paddling event waiver prior to participation.
