Map Link to Old 421 Access Area- Weather Outlook for Saturday

We need the rain so it would be good news if Hurricane Fay comes our way. Unexpected portage practice does not make for a fun paddle. Our group is not into paddling in the rain all day. We are fair weather paddlers by choice. All of us can tolerate a light rain or scattered showers. Always call or check website for possible last minute cancellations.

The following is a map link to the Old 421 River Park Access. Switch to the birds eye view to see the area we will be paddling. I noticed a small set of rapids just above the launch area, some of the group may be able paddle up and run down them a few times, while vehicles are being shuttled. Maybe I will be one of the lucky ones who gets to stay back and play in them.

Clicking here will take you to Maps Live. Below is a picture of what the bird's eye view looks like.


Click here for the Link to the Courtney-Huntsville Road Access off Shallowford Road. Some of our Paddlers will be taking out her to complete the 5.4 mile short run. Others will be joining us here as we paddle the remaining 10.9 miles to Tanglewood and take out at the Hwy 158 bridge. Below is a photo of the Courtney - Huntsville Access. It looks a little rugged, similar to the Hwy 64 access between Davidson and Davie Counties.


Below is a Picture of our destination and if you click here, this will take you to the confusion link for our shuttle. Points A-C( Old 421 to Tanglewood) appear simple enough. Points A-B & B-C look more time consuming. I think everyone should make it easier on me and paddle the 16.3 miles. Someone tell Fran there aren't enough paper cut outs to figure out this one.
