Trip Sponsors:  Jim Heichelbech
Where:   Lake Monroe
Put-In:  Cutright Boat ramp

Join us for a paddle on “the Wild Side” of Lake Monroe, the largest lake in the state and Indiana’s favorite Sea Kayaker destination! We’ll paddle west of the causeway, where wind and boat traffic make for some interesting conditions to enjoy. Launch for free from Cutright boat ramp and experience some fun and sun* on the water, picnic lunch and maybe a swim to beat the midday heat.

Meeting Place:   Cutright public access, about an hour south of Hwy I-465 at the intersection of Hwy 37. I-69 is now open just south of Martinsville, saves a lot of time!

Directions:   Proceed to the SE. side of Bloomington on Hwy 46. Turn south on Hwy 446 until you cross the Lake Monroe causeway. Take the first left and drive back to the public access, launching from the beach.

What to bring:  Bring your favorite paddling gear, including PFD, spray skirt, etc. Bring sun protection, snacks, Lunch, and plenty to drink. It can get pretty warm in August, but us kayaker’s have been known to splash when needed! Frozen bottles of water in a soft side cooler keep your lunch fresh, then pull ‘em out and drink up as they thaw.

Required Equipment:   PFD’s are required.

Meeting Time:   Please arrive around 10am, and be ready to Launch around 10:30am.
