Meet at the Albert Head Lagoon Regional Park. We'll launch and head along the shoreline toward Witty's Lagoon. We'll round Albert Head and continue following the shoreline into Witty's Lagoon to see the falls. There are some fun rocks to play in along the way. Any paddler playing in the rocks MUST wear a helmet. Lunch will be on the beach outside the lagoon (where there are picnic tables and toilets). After lunch we'll paddle around the Haystock Islets and return to our starting point following the shoreline.
Note: it can be wavy when rounding Albert Head. Strong PC1 skills are needed.
Route plan B
If the forecasted conditions for this paddle exceed the SISKA guidelines for an Energizer paddle (https://siska.ca/prod/docs_private/siska_docs/siska_paddle_guidelines.pdf) the paddle leader will find an alternate safe place to paddle.
Safety reminders
Always dress for the possibility of immersion and please bring a drybag containing a spare change of clothes. The drybag goes in your kayak with you, not in your car at the launch site. Please bring a lunch or snacks and sufficient beverage to keep you hydrated, as well as a thermos of something warm. Your paddle leader will introduce the plan and make sure everyone is comfortable with the requirements. Please stay off the water until the group is ready. If you have a VHF radio please bring it with you.
