Lamblane

Come one come all to a day of fun in the sun. Rafting down a gentle river.....Ha!..This is going to be a day of crazy water fights, king of the raft, bikini's & beer drinking (bikini's & beer drinking is strictly optional).

We will be using 6 man rafts with 5 to 6 people with an Ice chest in each raft.

We will be meeting at Goethe park (Rafting End Point) and taking the bus up to the Launch site.
We'll want everybody there by 9:30 to arrange ice chests and get gear together so that we can board the bus to the raft shop by 10am.

Friends and family are welcome. Parents use discretion when bringing kids. Aside from the inherent danger of rafting, there will be a lot of rough housing and drinking going on. There are also sometimes things seen on the river best not viewed by young eyes.... nuff said.

For the most part the river is calm. It's rated at class 1, the lowest classification. On the whole trip, I there is only one class 2 rapid (singular). For those who like, good amount of time is spent swimming around keeping cool.
