• Check the tide tables, especially if you plan to round Browns Point.

Scheduling & Permits

• If you are scheduling this as a non-stewardship related activity, please limit your group size to the recommended party size. The maximum party size is for use by stewardship trips only, and includes both participants and leaders. Group size maximums do not reflect how stewardship trips are run (in smaller groups of participants and leaders), but allow for leaders to register the activity in our system.
• This route allows multiple bookings to accommodate one "regular" trip and one stewardship activity. Please check scheduled trips listed below in the "Activities" tab to be sure that your trip does not conflict with one that is already scheduled.
