Our playground
We paddled 3,389 miles as a group. This is over one-third higher than last year!

Note: This report includes only people, places and miles paddled on club-sanctioned trips. It does not include paddling done by club members on non-HCC trips. Thus, the activity level by club members is actually higher than what is shown here.
