TRIP CANCELLED FOR BAD WEATHER….

Stateline Paddlers trip on Turtle Creek ** Sunday, 4 November  2018 **  Car shift will be at 10:00, plan to be there 09:30 to 09:45 to unload.  The trip is about 11 miles. 

The launch is at on O’Riley Road about 400 meters (1/4 mile) east of the bridge in a small forests preserve on the north side of the creek.  Take out will be in Sweet Allyn Park on Highway “J” east  of Beloit.

 If you need directions to the launch, Take I-39 North to I-43, get off at Rt 140 go north about 1/2 mile to Townline Rd., then East about 4 miles to O’Riley Rd and turn North.  The road turns right after the bridge, and the launch is at the curve in the road. The O’Riley Rd. sign was missing last time I was there.  If you see a dead end sign just passed a road that only goes left, you are at O”Riley Rd.
