Official TSRA Trips are led by trained Trip Leaders who can help you have a safe and enjoyable trip. It's a great way to meet other boaters and paddle new rivers with proper support. Most trips require preregistration so that the Trip Leader knows how many participants to expect and how to contact you if weather or river conditions mean a change in plans. Speaking with the Trip Leader in advance also helps you and the Trip Leader determine if the trip you're interested in is right for you.

Although we attempt to provde full information as early as possible, some trips may not have detailed descriptions until a few weeks before the trip as plans often do not gel until that time. Please contact the Trip Leader directly if you have questions.

It is always a good idea to check with the Trip Leader shortly before the trip. Water and weather conditions do change and plans may have to be altered.
