Hello there brave and fearless cachers! I am happy to announce a great opportunity for a fun, and relaxing day of tubing on The Credit River! Bring your tube, inflatable boat, air mattress, kayak, etc. and join us for a group float from Eldorodo Park, Brampton, to Meadowvale Conservation Area, Mississauga.
Fun, safe tubing requires some preparation. A good, reliable floatation device is required. Lifejackets are strongly recommended. Wading, and swimming will be necessary at times. Weak, or nervous swimmers should not participate. Waterproof enclosures are necessary for phones and GPS devices, and can be purchased at stores that sell camping equipment. Food and water should be packed for this event as the full event could take up to several hours. Sunscreen is a must. First Aid supplies would be a bonus. A dry sack, which can also be purchased at any store that sells camping equipment, is a great place to store food, and supplies. Some people like to tow an inflatable boat behind them for their supplies.
The water will range from just ankle deep to several feet deep. The water will be fast moving in some sections of the river.
Also, you will need to buddy up for this event. We will need cars available at both the starting point, and the exit points, to shuttle participants back to their cars at the starting point.
If you are looking to hook up with some buddies to arrange car pooling to and from start/finish, please indicate so in your will attend logs.
Packing a plastic garbage bag is recommended so that you have something to keep car seats dry for your return trip.
Eldorado Park closes at 9:00pm. Cars must be removed from the parking lot by then to avoid being locked in!
