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.

Waldo Lake-Part 4

Bugs 'n Insects!
Waldo Lake is one of many high elevation lake areas well known for its mosquitoe population and the many smaller lakes in the surrounding wilderness make this especially true for the early spring summer months. There is a small window before they burst on the scene, when it is still cool, to camp as long as you aren't shoveling snow aside! The mosquito population starts dropping late July and by late August to September, and even early October before the snows begin again are the best for avoiding the clouds of little whiners.
Emphasized note: If you plan on hiking into the wilderness, be prepared for increased mosquitoe populations especially near the small lake areas.
See you at the Lake!
