Yes! The 22nd annual Patagonia Lake Spring Gathering & Lakeshore Cleanup is now set for Sun. April 11, 2021 @ 09:00 AM |
Please Mark your Calendars! This will be the first time in over a year that our club members have the opportunity of convening in an entire group meeting & activity. The AZ Park service has allowed our organization to meet-up outdoors at our usual location on the beach at Patagonia Lake in larger numbers no more than 50. All members, friends & family are happily invited for the reunion we have sorely missed. Entrance fees will be waived for a Sat. boat-in campout site at #117 & for entering the Park on Sunday. Please ID yourself as SAPC Lake Cleanup participants with boats. However: There will be a necessity to RSVP if you & others wish to participate. We need to assure the Park Service we will not exceed their limitations for this exclusive gathering on the Lake. Please RSVP to Royce Davenport: 520-762-9263 (as above) or email Norma: tucsonpaddler@gmail.com Not essential, but helpful to Park Service in preparation for this event. Requirements: The Park Service requires all participants (except small children) to wear Covid coverings while in group mode in the Park, on the beach & on the water whenever close together. This will be a BYO Lunch & beverage (no glass, please). Bring your boats, PFD, water, chairs, gloves, hats & face coverings. We’re hoping for fair paddling weather & fun at our gathering. Come early to get a parking space. Our off-shore cleanup usually starts around 09:00. For Early Birds on Sat. Apr. 10: We have allocated a new Boat-in campsite #117 at the extreme West end of the Lake just north of the dry spillway. ![]() Location – Nogales, AZ: Patagonia Lake SP, beach area parking lot: Google Map I-19 south to Ruby Rd. exit #12.
