Whitefish - Big Island - Clamshell - Solstice

Weekly Tuesday Paddle

We will paddle out to the Big Island on Whitefish. On the island we will have snacks so bring your favorite beverage and a snack to share.

NOTE: We are launching from a new location this year for a change of pace. We'll be launching from Clamshell lake. This launch is a bit shorter paddle over to the island and it's not on the big water as long so if it's rough on the big lake we can cross quicker to the island. Plus we get to explore a couple new lakes, Bertha and Clamshell.
