Our Group



Welcome Paddlin' Chix! Our group of women, who enjoy kayaking, canoeing and rafting, come from diverse backgrounds and share not only experiences, but a unique bond as well. As we explore new rivers, ocean and lake places to take our watercraft, we want to provide a safe venue where women can come and connect with other women, building what we hope will be lasting friendships.

This is our spot to centralize and journal our doings. We can view planned trips, where to shop for equipment, training topics, what to bring on paddle trips, share pictures, stories and more! As we continue to build this place, I hope that it will become an excellent resource for us as we look forward to our many paddle trips together.

Flowers at Shasta Lake

Here's a little extra from our trip to Shasta Lake:
One of my smaller interests is the identification of wildflowers. In the book "Pacific Northwest Wildflowers" -AFalcon Guide, the purple flowers we were calling 'wild lilac' is more commonly known as 'Blue Blossom'. I'll skip the scientific name, but the final comment is, "In California this species may resemble a small tree growing to 25' in height with a 5-12" thick trunk. Also called California Lilac." Now we know!
