There are five or six of us fairly new to kayaking who would like to form a loose "club" to get together on our local flat water and paddle. Anybody want to join us?

My parents actually just bought kayaks about a month ago. They usually go to McIntosh Run but it seems to be a weekly thing (usually several times a week). I will talk to them to see if they are interested. Are you in St. Mary's?

You can get in the water for as little as say $300-400, as much as a couple grand, depends on what kind of paddling you are going to do, and what level of equipment you want to start with.
Me, it was $280ish for a 9.5 foot "rec boat", as they call them, $30 for a PFD, and anther $30 fo a paddle. It goes up from there

Cool. Might have to go to Patuxent Adventure center and chat with owner. He took pretty good care of me when I got my road bike. Funny we had no clue who the other was and before you new it we found out that at some point we'd flown together in the Marine Corps. Small small world.
Thanks

You wont get out so cheaply there, of course, Figure probably $350 minimum for the same sort of boat I got, something like this. I got this boats predecessor for under $300.
Perception Prodigy 10.0 Kayak at REI.com
PAC would most likely charge closer to $400 for it, but of course, its close, and your supporting the local guys.

Replying to interested SO MD Kayakers
To Dutch6,frogman123,spinner,greenbag12,flomaster and glhs837 and anyone else who's interested
Hi all, thanks for your replies and interest.
My hubby and I and the other 2 couples live in Charles County but as you might know there are lots of places to go paddling in So Md that are fairly convenient to all SO MDers. Dutch6 you asked if this is the formation of a club requiring membership--no just looking for others who share an interest in paddling the waterways together. Frogman would be happy to hear from your parents--don't know where McIntosh Run is but willing to explore it. Spinner, Greenbag and GLHS, Flomaster thanks for info and questions. I got my kayak used from an outfitter in FL for $175, bought one for the hubby from Beacon Surplus for about $300 new. Let's all exchange email addresses and phone numbers. We are tenetitively planning on going out Saturday Oct 25. Haven't decided where yet. Lets talk!

Not a great idea to post your email addy here. Better to remove it and PM everyone.
The nicest place we kayak is Mattawoman, the boat ramp before you get to the base at Indian Head. This time of year you can't beat it for the different types of migrating waterfowl. We fish there as much as we can. The boat ramp is nice, plenty of parking, and the boats are supposed to go very slow, although they don't always follow that rule. My daughter and I paddled almost all the way upsteam to the bridge.
We also go to Leonardtown, the little put in on Camp Calvert Road, Clarks Landing and Forrest Landing, but the boat ramp there is VERY slick, be careful. I had a bad fall there this summer. And you can put in at Buzzy's in Ridge to be in St Jeromes Creek.

Thanks for the tip GW, I'm new to this forum stuff so I don't even know what PM means. I'll have to train myself on the how-to's.

McIntosh Run
This is a nice run. I've done it at high tide in a canoe and made it all the way to Breton Bay. You park right near the KFC in Leonardtown.

I'm looking into kayaking. This one seems a little small for me. I'm not a big guy but the 225lbs capacity seems light. I'm thinking I'm more suited for a 12+ footer.
