Let’s paddle at Fletcher’s Cove in DC! This is just a mile or so north of Georgetown on the Potomac. There’s a dog friendly rental place and a free area to put in if you have your own gear. We can meet out in the cove and then paddle up river for a bit before letting the current carry us back to the cove area.

Here’s some great info about paddle boarding with your pup if you haven’t tried it before http://www.isupworld.com/sup-with-your-dog/. I’m happy to help everyone get settled in and demonstrate some basic paddling techniques.

**Directions:** When you turn into off of Canal road, stay to the right and go past the first parking area to a tunnel. That will take you under the C&O canal to a huge parking area and the rental place. The rental place will be on the left right as you get to the parking lot.

If you have your own equipment, continue down to the far end of the parking lot. There’s a small beach/launch area where you can walk your board or kayak into the water.

**Things to bring:** life vest for your dog (the handle is fantastic for getting them back on board), Water for you and your dog, Sunscreen/protective clothing, Footwear (if your dog falls and swims to shore you may have to go after him/her), dry bag for your phone/keys/snack/etc..

**Weather:** Will cancel if chance of storms or heavy rain. Or if river conditions are bad.
