North Branch Land TrustNorth Branch Land Trust 10th Annual Susquehanna River TripJuly 31, 2010 Come join us for the 10th Annual NBLT River Trip on the North Branch of the Susquehanna River on Saturday, July 31st. This year’s trip is from the Howland Preserve to White’s Ferry. Endless Mountain Outfitters will run a morning shuttle leaving at 9:15 a.m. from White's Ferry, just north of Keelersburg, to the Howland Preserve. A brief talk of the Howland Preserve is scheduled for 10:00 a.m., with the river launch at 10:30 a.m. We expect a sunny day for this 12.3 mile paddle! Bring binoculars (eagles are nesting near the launch), proper footwear for water, plenty of sunscreen and bug spray, snacks, drinking water, and your lunch. We will stop at Bowman's Creek for lunch and at LaGrange Island for river education. After the trip, there will be an afternoon shuttle back to Howland Preserve. See online registration, www.emo444.com, for shuttle reservations. EMO offers recreational kayaks for rent. They are very stable and user friendly. Tandem kayaks and canoes are also available. The recreational kayaks are $45 and tandem kayaks or canoes are $55 per day. PFD's and paddles are included. A lesson on how to kayak will be given. Prices include a donation to North Branch Land Trust.

If you bring your own boat, registration for the event is $15 per boat. Bring your boat to the Howland Preserve and EMO will shuttle you either prior to the float or afterwards. If you need livery for your boat from White's Ferry there will be a $10 additional charge. If you have any questions, call David or Melody Buck at (570) 746-9140 or email kayaks@ptd.net.
