Put in at the Boat Ramp near the Equestrian Camp at Alum Creek - on Howard Road, just off of N. Old State. It has a great Kayak launching dock.
We paddled north up to Hogback Rd and where Salt Well Run empties into the northern end of the Reservoir. Hubby forgot his floating strap so we MacGyver'd a floating strap using a zip tie, paracord and a piece of pool noodle. Good thing since he dropped it in the drink and it saved the camera. It appears to be waterproof as he was still able to take pics. The north end of the paddle has posts in the water with nesting platforms for endangered species - think large birds. The water was still, wildlife stunning and we got to see one of the large birds leave the nest, catch a fish and take it back. Saw lots of heron's, ducks, etc. No bugs. It was a really enjoyable paddle - about 2 1/2 hours on the water. The yak grips were awesome. No blisters, not really any hot spots either. Grips were solid, no slipping. Hopefully he'll post pics on facebook that I can steal and add to this blog.
