Weather<br />

The <strong>Rancocas</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> watershed has a basically temperate climate for paddling. Exemplary times to paddle are<br />

in the Spring and Fall months. Late August water levels in the Pine Barrens drop making paddling a slog across<br />

low water. Freshest and thunder storms are encountered in mid to late Summer. Ice freezes the <strong>Creek</strong> during<br />

periods of time in the winter. Summer brings hot and humid conditions. Take time to cool off and avoiding<br />

heat related medical issues. Winter paddling a beast of different extremes.<br />

Winter paddling is enjoyable. Paddle Safe. Outfit ones yak for winter paddling. Wear a PFD, follow a float<br />

plan, never paddle alone.<br />
