This Saturday 29 March: BIG Little River Paddle Event
The BIG Little River Paddle Event will take place this Saturday rain or shine, but may be delayed if there is thunder or lightning.
You can register online or at the event.
2nd annual BIG Little River Paddle Event is postponed.
The ranger at Reed Bingham has elected to postpone the paddle event due to unsafe water levels on the Little River in the park and no significant drop in water levels today. I think this is the right thing to do. We want a safe, fun event.
The event will be moved to Saturday, March 29 at same times.
Anyone who pre-registered for the event who does not wish to come on the 29th will be given a refund.
Feel free to call me with any questions or concerns.
