Chicago Skyline Paddle...AWESOME!





What a perfect day to paddle on Lake Michigan and take in all the scenery that the Windy City had to offer! POA put our group in the water after some snacks and off we went. We paddled by the Shedd Aquarium, the Adler Planetarium, past Buckingham Fountain and throughout Monroe Harbor. This trip will absolutely be on the books for next summer, so STAY TUNED!


Paddle On, Paddle Often,

Get Ready For Fall!



It will be here sooner than you think...you can smell it in the air! As the days start to get shorter, the leaves will start to change color and soon fall will be upon us. Make sure you take full advantage of the fall this year with Trip from Powers Outdoors Adventures. Attached are some pix from our Trip last year. POA is guiding a Fall Paddle on the Muskegon River, on Saturday, October 24th. All ages and experience levels are welcome on this trip. The paddle will last around 5 hours and we serve you lunch (homeade chili) right on the river - what a great way to spend an autumn day! (And by the way...we make GREAT CHILI!)

See you this fall!

Upcoming Trips !


Hello Fellow Outdoor Enthusiasts!

We are only a few days away from POA's next Trip, which is the SOLD OUT Wine Paddle coming up this Saturday before Labor Day. So, because that trip is already full, we wanted to let you know about the next couple of Trips we have planned:

CHICAGO FLATWATER CLASSIC
October 4th, 2009
Chicago River, Chicago, IL
5 Spots Available
--------------------------
This Trip is not like paddling a wooded, tree lined river up North...because you will be paddling the Canyons of Downtown Chicago! The best part about this trip (besides paddling through sky scrapers) is that we drive you down in the morning, feed you, let you paddle in the race, and then drive you home! All you have to do is HAVE FUN! Check out more details on our website by clicking H E R E. Sign up today because space is limited! Cost of the Trip is only $99 per person. Be sure to check out the Friends of the Chicago River's website here. Thanks to Friends for this great event! Also, don't forget to stop and check out Powers Outdoors and POA's Booth at the end of the Race!


FALL COLOR PADDLE
October 24, 2009
Muskegon River, MI

------------------------
Get out with POA and enjoy a crisp autumn day on the gorgeous Muskegon River that winds through downtown Newaygo. This will be about a 5 hour paddle, and lunch will be included. Cost will be $70 per person. Please go to our website HERE for more details and to sign up!

That's it for now paddlers! Stay Tuned for more trips coming up as we wind down 2009...
