Fort Wayne Paddlers Sylvan Lake 9.6.22 As Mike noted in his original message, our last outing on Sylvan Lake was "electrifying", threatening to give us a "Back to the Future" experience (except for the challenge of getting a kayak up to 88 mph...).

Golden Lake 6.30.2020
Golden Lake proved to be a "golden" paddle this evening. Although we missed a few regulars, we still had a considerable turnout.

Our band of paddlers consisted of a mix of old, new, and “occasional”: Jay, Dan, Steve, Steve, Steve (seems to be a theme here), Mike, and John completed the “regulars” list, while … Continue reading Fort Wayne Kayaking: Golden Lake 5.21.19
