Rotary Regatta
Course Description
Generally, the current on Clear Creek is slow moving mostly influenced by ingoing or outgoing tides or rainfall. Narrow and twisty at the start, this course boasts 20 turns in the first mile with another 20 turns in the next 1.5 miles before widening and straightening out for speed. For the competitor, this will be a unique course of technique and speed. For the recreation paddler, this will be gentle, lazy course often shaded by trees. For the spectator, the banks are low and gradual providing easily accessible, unique and close up views of the participants for over a mile of the race.
