Try out MITOC's packrafts! We'll meet in the gear office on Sunday to check out packrafts, then head over to Mystic Lake to spend the afternoon paddling around in a forgiving environment. You'll learn the basics of how to transport, inflate, and maneuver a packraft. Hopefully you'll be inspired to take rafts out on a big adventure in the future!

Notes: Plan is to bike to Mystic Lake with rafts, so be prepared for biking with a somewhat bulky object (raft, PFD, and paddle) that can be crammed in a hiking backpack or panniers. You can drive if you're not comfortable doing this.

Rafts and associated gear must be dry before returning them at office hours. You may have to coordinate with other participants if you don't have room to dry out your raft.
