Around 100 people participated in the 10th Annual North Salt Lake Paddle portion of the Get to the River Festival, Saturday, Sept 16th. The kayak and canoe excursion on the Jordan River began at 1835 N. Redwood Rd and ended at Porter's Landing in North Salt Lake. Davis County and the Jordan River Commission provided financial support to make this event the best attended, yet. Ali Avery, Event Coordinator called the area “A beautiful part of the river” and participants shared how much fun they had. One group of teenagers even used it as part of their “day-date.” Even though one person “fell in,” NSL still plans to hold it next year and will add concrete to Porter’s Landing for an easier exit from the river.
