Paddle Amos Lake under the glow of the full moon.
Paddles on the Water is a cooperative partnership with Preston Conservation Commission, and the Amos Lake Association. Paddles on the Waters has been a long-time goal of the Preston Conservation and Agricultural Commission. Amos Lake Association has the volunteers and knowledge of Amos Lake to carry out the events. CT DEEP has provided permission to copy some of their printed materials (see links below) and has supplied vessel identification stickers.
Each paddle event begins at the state boat launch with a safety review at which time we handed out whistles equipped with a thermometer, and compass. Next, we review CT DEEP’s CLEAN-DRAIN-DRY program to stop the spread of invasive species. Along with our own handout containing a bathymetric map of Amos Lake.
Every paddler is required to wear a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) during the event. We will have a safety boat floating in the water within eye and ear shot of the paddlers. There will be a lead guide at each event. We have a basic emergency response plan in place that specifies take-out points, individual roles for our volunteers, and procedures. Our local fire departments are prepared and ready in case of an emergency.
Each participant must sign a waiver of liability prior to the event.
Register by emailing [email protected] your name, email address, and telephone number along with a signed LIABILITY WAVER.
