SUMMARY:Moonlight Paddle with YRK at Salem Lake
DESCRIPTION:Join the Yadkin Riverkeeper staff at Salem Lake from 5pm to 9pm for a little paddling in the moonlight. Weather permitting\, the moon will rise at 4:30p and the sun will set at 7:40p. While the moon won’t be full\, it will have 90% luminance to make paddling in the evening a beautifully memorable experience. Twilight is an excellent time to catch nature’s nightshift start to stir. Gliding from the seat of a canoe or kayak gives you a vantage point that is more open than woods. Paddlers are encouraged to bring their own boats. Yadkin Riverkeeper will have a limited number of boats if you do not have your own. **Limited spots left! At this time\, our boats have all been spoken for. Paddlers signing up must bring their own boats. \n  \nPlease register here! https://www.yadkinriverkeeper.org/events/2026/3/29/creek-week-moonlight-paddle
