SUMMARY:Guided Loon Paddle on Intermediate Lake
DESCRIPTION:Join Paddle Antrim for a unique guided paddle on Intermediate Lake and River\, featuring a special opportunity to learn about Michigan’s iconic loons. By this time of year\, nesting season should be complete\, and we hope to observe adult loons with their young as they move freely across the lake. \nTwo experienced loon observers from the Intermediate Lake Association will join us on the water to share insights and help us spot these remarkable birds in their natural habitat. Along our route\, we’ll pass by two known loon nesting areas and hopefully have a look at the empty nesting platforms used by loons. We will practice safe and responsible wildlife viewing throughout the paddle\, following best practices to minimize disturbance to the loons and their habitat. \nThis one-way paddle is ideal for paddlers with some kayaking experience and will take approximately 2 hours on flatwater. \nThere are two easy ways to join us on the water: you can bring your own paddle craft and life jacket\, or let us provide you with a single kayak and all the necessary gear for a hassle-free experience. \nWho Can Join? \nPaddlers with basic kayaking experience. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult on the water. \nWhen: \nThursday\, July 16\, 2026\nMeet at Richardi Park parking lot at 9:45 AM.\nA shuttle will depart at 10:00 AM to take the group to the launch site (Openo Road  Access Site) where our kayaks will be staged. NOTE: If you are bringing your own paddle craft you will need to drop it at Openo Rd.  access prior to 9:45 am. \nWhere: \nMeet in the parking lot at Richardi Park\, E Antrim St\, Bellaire\, MI 49615 \nCost:\n$50 per person (additional $5 fee for kayak rental)  \nSpace is limited to 20 participants. \nRequirements: \n\nWaiver: All participants must complete a waiver.
