We will return.   Bill Ruffalo – Google Reviews 5 Star\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \nHow to Make Reservations to experience a Savage Rez Kayak Tour:\n\n\n \nMaking reservations is easy. We give you all the information you need and answer any questions you may have. We go over what to wear\, what to bring\, how to get to the put-in meeting place and we gather all the info we need to make your trip special. We give you directions or email them to you. call 301-746-4083\nPLEASE NOTE:  If you don’t have much flexibility on the date of your tour – book early. \n\n\n \nDo we want single or double kayaks?\n We have a wide variety of sit-inside single and double kayaks to suit your preferences and comfort. You can choose to paddle a single kayak by yourself or a double kayak with a partner. Both options have their advantages and challenges. Single kayaks are easier for most people because you only have to coordinate with yourself. You can paddle at your own pace and direction. Single kayaks are also more agile and responsive. However\, single kayaks require more strength and stamina\, especially if you are a beginner or a child. Double kayaks are great for couples\, families\, or friends who want to share the experience. You can help each other paddle and balance the kayak. Double kayaks are also more stable and spacious. However\, double kayaks require good communication and teamwork\, as you have to paddle in sync and agree on where to go. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will help you choose the best kayak for you and your group when you call to book your tour and our guides will also provide some gentle coaching on how to paddle effectively to have the best time out there. Whether you choose a single or a double kayak\, you will have a fun and memorable adventure on the water. \n\n\n \n\n\n \nActive\, gung-ho kids can usually handle a single kayak starting at age 9 or 10 years old. A good breakfast and adequate hydration can help everyone. If they tire out\, our guides are always there to provide a short tow if necessary. Extra-large individuals may find paddling a double by themselves more stable and comfortable. Our doubles are very easy to paddle on your own and you have no trouble keeping up with the rest of your group. Please let us know if individuals are coming that exceed 275lbs. \n\n\n \nIMPORTANT TOUR LINKS\n\n\n \nKayaking Tours near Deep Creek Lake: Photo Gallery\n\n\n \nDirections to the Summer Meeting Place\n\n\n \nDownload The Release Form You may print out and sign the release form and bring it with you.

Monroe Run Hiking Trail Map (maryland.gov) \nWithout doubt\, New Germany State Park is loved by many and is also close enough to our tours to plan to spend some time there\, after the tour to enjoy the trails and the beach area. https://dnr.maryland.gov/publiclands/Pages/western/newgermany.aspx\nWHAT TO BRING: A water bottle is suggested! Sunscreen\, sunglasses and hats.\n\n\nWHAT TO WEAR: We suggest bathing suits under quick drying shorts and a rash guard or t-shirt\, hats\, sunglasses. Suitable footwear such as water shoes or river sandals (sneakers ok\, but not your best sparkling clean pair\, Flip flops aren’t the greatest for walking on the rocky shoreline.) Dress for the day’s weather which means be prepared. Weather can change quickly in the mountains. Bring a sweatshirt or windbreaker and rain gear if rain is in the forecast or if there is a chance of T-storms (our normal summer forecast)\nTRIPS RUN RAIN OR SHINE. Don’t worry about the weather report.\n\nWhen kayaking in cooler weather\, you want to dress warmly and avoid getting wet. Here are some tips on what to wear for a comfortable and safe kayaking experience: \n\nWear long underwear under your shorts and nylon wind pants. These will keep you warm and dry if you get splashed.\nWear a nylon windbreaker or a Gore-Tex jacket if it’s raining. These will protect you from the wind and water.\nWear yoga pants under your shorts if you prefer. Some people find them more comfortable and flexible than long underwear.\nWear layers on your upper body. A long sleeve polypropylene shirt\, a lightweight wool sweater\, and a knit hat are good options. A hat will help you keep your head warm\, which is important for regulating your body temperature.\nAvoid cotton clothing. Cotton absorbs water and can make you feel colder and wetter. Choose synthetic or wool fabrics instead.\n\nBring a change of clothes in case you get wet. You’ll be glad to have dry clothes to change into after your kayaking adventure. Don’t worry about the weather\, it’s a water sport and most rain is short lived. Drizzly days are THE BEST for spotting wildlife. Bring a change of clothes if wet weather is in the forecast. \n\nWe expect you to show up at the put in regardless of the weather forecast.

Early morning\, afternoon\, evening\, special start times and full moon tours may be available for private tours. Fall tour start times are usually delayed to let the day warm up. Be sure you know the start time.\nCANCELLATION POLICY: WE REQUIRE AT A MINIMUM\, 24 HOUR CANCELLATION NOTICE OR NOTIFICATION IF YOUR NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS DROPS. If you show up with less than you reserved for your tour or you cancel your trip the day of your tour\, you will be charged. We are turning people away on most tours. If you don’t show up for a tour you reserved for whatever reason\, you will be charged. BE SURE YOU REVIEW AND UNDERSTAND DIRECTIONS TO THE MEETING PLACE AT THE SAVAGE RIVER RESERVOIR. Getting there on time for your tour is your responsibility.\n\n\n\n \nGuide gratuities are customary on outdoor adventures and our guides work hard to show you a good time\, take great care of you\, teach you\, help you\, look out for you and in the cleaning of gear and keeping our trips as safe as possible.

Going through the Natural Resources & Wildlife Technology program at Garrett College only fueled the fire for my interests. My love of fungi and plants started in college and grew while working for the local state parks as an outdoor educator. I find that spending time outside allows me to appreciate all the small things life has to offer. I have spent 10 years as an outdoor educator in my free time\, teaching classes for several local organizations. I currently work as a Natural Resources Technician III for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. My passion is to inspire others to learn about our natural world and why it is so important to conserve what we have left.”  Chris\n\n\nChris Hull\, The Fungi URL:https://allearthtours.com/event/discover-the-wonderful-world-of-edible-plants-and-wild-mushrooms/ LOCATION:Friendsville Community Park\, 945 Community Drive\, Friendsville\, MD\, 21531\, United States CATEGORIES:Foraging,Wildflower & Bird Walks ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://allearthtours.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/DSC_2240.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="All Earth Eco Tours":MAILTO:Carol@allearthtours.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240708T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240711T160000 DTSTAMP:20250514T061926 CREATED:20240212T143033Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240324T175003Z UID:4230-1720432800-1720713600@allearthtours.com SUMMARY:Kids Summer Farm Day Camp 2024 DESCRIPTION:Kids Summer Farm Day Camp 2024\nSo much fun learning at Farm Camp!
