Saturday May 14, 2016, Tom and I are doing Turtle Creek for sure from O’Riley Road to Sweet Allyn Park. We had to go somewhere because the South Branch Kish Paddle was getting canceled.

You can get there by taking I-39 west (really north here) to Shopiere Road (exit 183) just past I-43 (or Beloit). On Shopiere Road head turn right (or heading east) to the town Shopiere. Turn left at S Co Road J (heading North) and the park is just to your right past Turtle Creek bridge.

Arrive at 9:30 am at Sweet Allyn Park, if there are any extra people going we can do a Car shift at 10:00, arrive early enough so we know who is going.
The usual rules apply including but not limited to:
Participants provide their own suitable canoe or kayak, paddle(s), PFD/approved life jackets, and wear PFD on water
Minors must be accompanied by responsible adult
Adults must sign in, on waiver sheet
