``` - Longmont Paddles? Paddle and Picnic 🏄♂️🌊🌞McIntosh Lake Boat Ramp, Longmont, CO
### Details
TYPE: Paddleboard | PACE: Leisurely | TERRAIN: Water | DISTANCE: Open paddling
I barely paddled last summer... to fix that I am hoping to start having these every other week or so once it gets warm. It will be weather dependent until later in the Spring. If it is sunny and above 60, we are on. I will make a call by that week's Friday.
Join us for a relaxing morning on the water at McIntosh Lake! This is the first in our Paddleboard Series, where we’ll enjoy a laid-back paddle while also having a picnic by the shore. No paddleboard? No problem anyone can jump on mine (And I imagine others will share as well). This is a good way to try it out. And don’t forget a snack to share at the picnic!
After and during the paddling, we’ll gather by the water for a picnic. Bring a snack to share, something to drink, and a blanket or chair to relax by the lake.
### Paddle Movement Leader:
Jorge: I walk… but sometimes, I float.
### How to Prepare:
Dress for the water, whether that’s a swimsuit, quick-dry clothes, or something comfortable for paddling. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses for sun protection. If you have a paddleboard, bring it along, but you don’t need one to join.
### Meeting Site:
Launch Site: Meet at the Southern Boat Launch at McIntosh Lake – 9:30 AM. We will be in the water by 10:00 once we get ready.
As it gets warmer the time will move earlier.
