not from around here don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. Not too many

Briefly about the general area: A good place like Bonnie Lure State Park near Destination Wilderness is too perfect to leave out; going for a hike on the High Camp Trail is always a good adventure. | |
