Web site: http://www.paddleoregon.org/

DESCRIPTION: Join us for Paddle Oregon's 11th Annual Float, five days and 105 miles down the calm and beautiful waters of the Willamette River. This year’s trip will begin at Crystal Lake Boat Ramp (in Corvallis) and will have a “surprise ending” in the vicinity of Willamette Falls: either Clackamette Park (in Oregon City, below the Falls) if the Willamette Falls Locks are open, or Bernert Landing (in West Linn, just above the Falls) if the locks are closed. This is one of the most supported river runs in the Northwest. Each day is bookended with wonderful meals, a surprising wine and beer selection, speakers, nightly entertainment and memories to last a lifetime.

Floatzilla 2011

DATE: August 20, 2011
Location: Lake Potter, IL
Web site: http://www.floatzilla.org/

DESCRIPTION: Floatzilla 2011 is the Quad Cities 2nd Annual paddle sports festival that culminates with a Guinness World Record attempt at the largest flotilla of kayaks and canoes on the protected backwaters of Lake Potter.

In addition to the world record attempt [at 2 p.m. at Lake Potter], the festival will include guided floats [launches start at 9 a.m.] on the Quad Cities Water Trails and beginner-friendly paddling lessons and programs.

SEPTEMBER

2 Dam Days Paddle Marathon

DATES: Sept 24 - 25 , 2011
Location: Lake fo the Ozarks, MO
Web site: http://www.2damdays.org/

DESCRIPTION: The second annual 2 Dam Days Paddle Marathon on the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks in Central Missouri will be held Sept 24 and 25, 2011.

Don't miss this challenging event. Comments from the first annual 2DamDays race included, "..toughest race I was ever in...I'll be back". What will it be like this year? Will it be a calm, windless weekend with no big cruisers around to make horrendous wakes? I doubt it. So if you're among the faint of heart, maybe you'd best stay at home. But if your heart jumps at the thought of a real challenge, plan to join in for the race between the dams.
