When you can’t be out on the river or lake, you can still immerse yourself in a community of like-minded paddlers.
Solo paddling isn’t without its charms. But most of us who call ourselves paddlers appreciate being part of a larger community of like-minded people. There are dozens of Ontario-based Facebook paddling clubs. Joining one could be your entry into regular group paddles, seeing new areas and meeting new people. Or it could simply start the glow of a daily dose of inspiration and interaction.
