Needless to say, if you know me, life has had its way with me lately and our club newsletter has had a bit of a sabbatical. But never fear, it’s back! I would like to thank everyone in the paddling community both old and new who has been an uplifting means of support to me, as well as my family recently. THIS...this is why I consider Chota such a valuable part of my life...the support system. We literally and figuratively have each others backs. From wrangling each others gear down after a swim to simple friendly notes of support on facebook, to the offer of a helping hand when you’ve been dealt a tragedy or crisis in life. Thank you so very much for all of the selflessness I’ve seen come from this club. I’m not just talking about what I’ve personally experienced, but what I and others have witnessed. We notice more than you’d think, and believe it or not you are impacting peoples lives in a positive way. I know we joke around and pick on each other, but this is why people stick around...it’s a community. So today, hold your head high no matter what trials life is slinging your way and know that we’ve got your back! Happy happy paddlin, Rachel [email protected] PS - Don’t forget to contact me if you want to buy one of the extra shirts left over from the school! $15 each for the cotton shirts.

Yes, this can be paddle through the fifty feet tunnel. Unfortunately, on the day done at Calderwood Lake. Nestled in the Smokies, bordered by we were there, the ceiling of the tunnel was only about two feet Joyce Kilmer Slickrock Wilderness Area and the Cherokee above the water. National Forest, Calderwood Lake is partly located in North Carolina and mostly in Tennessee. Lunch stop was at Parsons Branch creek which has silted up quite a bit from storms the past couple of years. There is Four paddlers, Jim Martin, Richard Redano, Iris Leung, and Cheri another backcountry campsite located just up the creek. Due to Devault (a new member) visited the lake in mid-October to view close proximity of the creek to Highway 129, one can sometimes fall colors. Calderwood Lake, formed from Calderwood dam hear the roar of the motorcycles. This was the only distraction (completed in 1930), is accessible via a boat ramp off Highway to otherwise a very tranquil paddle in a lake nestled in 129. The boat ramps can be crowded in the summer time as the mountains. there are numerous campsites located next to the water. However, with the temperature just above freezing the night Other than the two backcountry campsites at the creeks, before, there was only one tent visible on the shores when we Brookfield Smoky Mountain Hydro-power, the operator of the set off. dam, built three other small campsites along the shores of the eight mile long lake. Click here for more information. For the first mile, there was a cold breeze coming over the steep hills. The wind abated as we slipped into Slickrock Creek If you desire to see fall colors on the water, make sure to check out the waterfall. The creek is one of the favorite areas Calderwood Lake is on your destination list for next October. for wilderness camping, accessible via foot or water crafts only. A hiking trail leads up the creek which bisects the two states. As an end note, Chilhowee Lake, the lake below Calderwood is being drawn down for inspection of Chilhowee dam this fall. About another mile and half further down on river right, we It is worth a drive up highway 129 to see the old road bed and came upon a tunnel in the rock face.

Laid Back Paddling What does Some touring trips we do in Chota are not major events. Sometimes we just go for a cruise, have a nice lunch, swim in Chota mean the lake and enjoy the nice weather. That was the plan for the quick pickup trip we did on Chilhowee Lake on Saturday August 15th. Seven of us met at the Abrams to you?? Creek ramp mid-morning and cruised out under cloudy skies. Answered by Jim Martin For an August day it was not very hot and that is what we were looking for. After about an hour of paddling we found a nice gravel beach to stop for lunch and a few beers. A dip in the lake, a little roll practice and a lot of just hanging out then it was time Several folks opted to make their way home when we got back to head back. to Abrams Creek. A few of us continued on up the creek until we ran out of lake and hit the last rapids on Abrams. Another swim and a little more hanging out in the sun and then back. Four or five hours on the water then back to the real world. Some of the trips we take are a lot more intense. I like to paddle on windy rough waters, in the ocean, in the rain, cold and hot sun. I like to challenge myself by going long distances at a fast pace. I like multi-day expeditions and camping in the wild. I also appreciate calm waters, a leisurely pace and time relaxing. Paddling connects me to nature no matter what the location or conditions. The Chota club offers all of that and more. That’s what I like about being a member. -Jim Chota Canoe Club 2015 Officers Next meeting is Nov 12, 2015 6:30pm at Bearden Beer Market President Angela Wood Whitewater Trips John “Gunny” Wiser Vice President Stuart Mckee Touring Trips Jim Martin Secretary Sandy Snyder School Director Aaron Hiscock Treasurer Sean Coombs Conservation Tom Snyder Newsletter/Web Rachel Elise Safety La Dawn Wolfe Tom & Sandy’s visit to the Madawaska Kanu Centre June/July 2015 by Sandy Snyder Though we started boating longer ago that we care to remember, both of us returned to paddling kayaks last fall after a break of several years. Tom was off whitewater for about seven years due to back issues, while I spent many of those years in an Outrage – an open canoe. Environment: From past experience, we knew that multi-day classes work for us; The Madawaska River is literally across the road from MKC with paddling with instruction keeps us from embedding bad habits. weekday water releases guaranteed by Ontario Power. The class 2-3 We looked around and couldn’t find what we used to find in the rapids start just below the dam and stretch down to a lake takeout, southeast: good instruction combined with the camaraderie and with a path running along most of the whitewater section.

  • OUTFITTING a WHITEWATER CANOE Part I
    OUTFITTING A WHITEWATER CANOE Part I By RiverKen I have made nearly every mistake possible in outfitting the OC-1 whitewater canoe,1 and thus can claim to be something of an expert on the subject. There are many websites that offer advice on how to do it, and I have shamelessly appropriated many of the ideas they have presented. I’ll try to give them credit where it is due.2 In addition, I have often posted questions on New England Riverrunners (a Yahoo group), Northeast Paddlers Message Board and C-Boats, and have received answers of varying utility. These message boards often contain useful information on outfitting, as well as many other subjects. I’ve also had many conversations with other open boaters, and with outfitters; all have educated me at least to some degree. Here, I am trying to write a compendium of what I have learned. This paper assumes that anyone who wants to outfit an OC-1 must have spent some time in one and knows the basic nomenclature that relates to canoes and outfitting, such as painter, hull, bow, and stern. On the other hand, if you really know what you’re doing, there won’t be much here you don’t already know. In that case, you can read this for its entertainment and undeniable literary value. This paper serves best as a compendium of ideas and resources, rather than a manual. The fun part of home outfitting is that you can experiment, think of new ways to do things, make mistakes, and ultimately get your boat outfitted exactly as you want it (or have to live with the mess you made).

  • Mad River Canoe 2008 Product Catalog
    Mad River Canoe 2008 Product Catalog History of the Bunny Native American Micmac Indian legend tells of the rabbit, pipe in hand, sitting secure and confident within the ferns, as his mortal enemy the lynx prowls nearby. The rabbit is confident of his own ability. He knows he has the strength, agility, and intelligence to deal with whatever challenges await. He represents the assurance that your Mad River Canoe is the finest craft of its kind, a canoe in which you can paddle across the pond or into the wilderness with absolute peace of mind. Company History Mad River Canoe rose from admittedly humble beginnings to become a leader in the world of canoes. It all began back in 1971 when Jim Versatile Canoes Henry, out of frustration in not being to find a canoe to meet his needs, designed and built the first Malecite. Jim took his canoe to the Synergy, Angler 14 4 Whitewater National Championships and came home not only with the Downriver National Championship but also a demand for his new Explorer 5 canoe. He set up shop in a shed in the backyard of his hillside home in Waitsfield, Vermont overlooking the Mad River and Mad River Legend 6 Canoe was born. Jim and Kay Henry would incorporate Mad River Canoe in 1973 and establish a manufacturing facility for what became Freedom 7 a growing line of canoes made from then revolutionary materials such as Royalex® and Kevlar®. Mad River was among the first companies to mold their own Royalex® canoes and was the first to introduce Kevlar® to the canoe world.
