DESCHUTES RIVER FLOATATHON
We strongly urge life jackets on the 4 leggers and life jackets for 2 leggers although people jackets need to be at least in the boat and not have to be worn. Please put a 10 foot or so rope on the front of your water craft (or bring one) so you can be pulled up on the beach bank at lunch. Water, sun screen, picnic lunch AND INSECT REPELLANT IS VERY IMPORTANT as the picnic area is in the forest and last year was a mosquito festival. Shared goodies are great but please do not give food to the 4 leggers as some have serious allergy issues.
We will be at the Sunriver boat launch at 9 to let folks in. “Outlanders” THOSE CLUB MEMBERS from outside Sunriver will be let in as our guests. The launch site is next to the Sunriver Marina. We will all unload our boats and then those who have not already worked out getting transportation back from Benham Falls can decide how to get back with car pooling. Those who want to drive their cars down BEFORE the float, there will be cars to drive you back. If you leave a car at the Benham Falls take out, you will need a National Forest $5.00 day pass, a year pass or life time pass to park there all day.
WE WANT TO BE IN THE WATER AND BEGINNING OUR FLOAT AT 10:30
