Trip Difficulty: Easy (Beginner to Advanced Skills)
We’re heading back to a small, but scenic lake under the light of the Flower moon. Brush Creek Reservoir is located about 1:15 southeast of Indy and 30 minutes south of Greensburg.

We will meet at the Boat Ramp at 6:00pm and plan to be on the water by 6:30pm. From there we will paddle around the lake for 3+ hours. We’ve always seen several eagles here in the past. It’s a nice lake with very little boat traffic. The military uses some of the adjacent land for training so we might see some of that. If not we may be able to check out the training village. Sunset is at 8:55pm and moonrise is nearly the same time. That means we should have good light the entire time we’re on the water if there aren’t any clouds.
Carpool/Caravan Info: For those who want to carpool or caravan we will meet at Focus Therapeutic Massage, 8711 Southeastern Ave. Be ready to depart @ 3:15pm. We will stop for a quick bite on the way down.
RENTALS: For Kayak rental reservations with Freedom Kayak Adventures, call[masked]. Prices to rent for this trip are $50 for singles, $60 for tandems.
Suggested items to bring: Wide brimmed hat, sun block, hand sanitizer, sunglasses, large sponge, bilge pump or container to bail out water, water, snacks, towel, change of clothes, water shoes, paddling gloves, rain gear, bug spray, safety whistle, camera, flashlight/headlamp, a sense of adventure, and a good dose of humor. For clothing try to use something other than cotton, especially if the weather is cool. Polypropylene or polyester are good choices since neither holds water and they wick moisture away from you.
Event hosts reserve the right to cancel due to inclement weather. Any cancellation or adjustment to the schedule will be posted in this event’s message thread.
Since this will be a nighttime event and it’s easy to get disoriented on the dark everyone will be required to wear a PFD (personal flotation device.)
Please answer ALL of the questions when you RSVP.
