Mosquito Season: Due to our close proximity to the creek and sensitive watershed our community doesn't spray chemicals for mosquito mitigation, so we experience a noticeable mosquito season from mid-June till the end of July.  This can fluctuate depending on water levels, rainfall and night temperatures.  If you reserve during this time, we advise packing layers of clothing so that you can cover your skin to protect from bites.  We provide some mosquito repellents and gear, but we ask you to bring your own bug spray for your outings.
