August can deliver some very low water levels, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem this year. While many Iowans complain about weather at any time of the year, Iowa paddlers are fortunate to live in a state with a wide variety of “water.” You may have to move from creeks to rivers to lakes, but we always have someplace to wet a paddle.

The busy calendar continues, with a variety of day paddling trips, cleanups, training sessions, family events, and volunteer opportunities. And we’re receiving info about WT paddling events on into October.

As always — Please be careful out there! Remember to wear your PFD, paddle with others, know your capabilities, and file a float plan.
