Patuxent River Canoe/Kayak Notes: 
The Patuxent River is a relatively slow-moving river, but paddlers must be able to propel the canoe through the water. Participants must be able to: 

  • Independently participate in all activities while maintaining an appropriate and safe body position. 
  • Manage all personal care and personal mobility independently. 
  • Effectively communicate with leaders and other participants. 
  • Bring plenty of water, lunch or snacks, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, and wear closed toe shoes that can get wet & muddy.
