This should be an easy trip, and it is ideal for families with children or paddlers wanting to have a leisurely paddle on a Saturday morning. This trip open to the general public - not just DDRC members.

Directions: Go north or south on IH 35E to the Sandy Lake Road / Whitlock Lane exit, and then go WEST on Sandy Lake Road. Follow Sandy Lake Road about 1.7 miles to the entrance on McInnish Park on the left (south) side of Sandy Lake Road. Turn LEFT into the park, and then take the first RIGHT about 50 yards south of Sandy Lake Road. Follow that road back under Sandy Lake Road to the parking lot and boat ramp where we will rendezvous.

While we have never had any problems it is advisable not to leave valuables in sight inside your vehicles. Store valuables in the trunk or out of sight, and lock your doors.
