SATURDAY DAYHIKE, 11:30 a.m. Southeastern Outings (SO) Potluck Picnic Lunch followed by Afternoon Kayak or Canoe Paddle or Afternoon Dayhike at
Lower Fishing Lake (now called Beaver Lake),Oak Mountain State Park,located at the back entrance to the park.DETAILS: Prior to the canoeing, kayaking, and hiking, SO people and guests will get together at the Mallard Pavilion in the neighborhood of the Flip Side Water Sports office, (FS and formerly the Fishing Center),for a group potluck picnic.Bring a dish of food to share with the group in dishes with a cover on them (think “like Tupperware”.) Do not bring your food in fast food, cardboard or open containers. There are obvious issues with bees, flies and yellow jackets, etc. when setting up food exposed outdoors to nuisance insects. You may bring a bag of potato chips, but if you do, you should bring some more substantial food to share in addition. Bring $5/person ($2 seniors and children) park admission fee, a beverage for yourself and folding lawn chairs if you have them. Southeastern Outings will furnish plates, cups, knives, forks, spoons, napkins, and ice. Picnic preparations will begin at 11:30 a.m. Lunch is at 12 p.m. noon. After lunch enjoy boating on the lower fishing lake or you can enjoy a moderately easy afternoon hike along the shore of the upper fishing lake (now called Lunker Lake) in the park. Hike departs from the Mallard Pavilion about 1:30 p.m. Participate in the boating, hiking, group picnic; or skip the boating, hiking and come just for the picnic; or just enjoy the outdoor exercise activities AND the picnic. Meet at the Mallard Pavilion just downhill from the very far end of the parking lot that is designated for the FS office near the back entrance to Oak Mountain State Park.
