Stateline Paddlers is hosting a trip on the Kishwaukee River from Bauman Park in Cherry Valley to Seth Atwood forest preserve on Sunday, September 20, 2020. If we want to do a longer paddle we can go to route 2 also. It would be about 9 miles from Bauman Park to Atwood or 16.5 miles to route 2. We will need to follow the CDC guidelines for social distancing. Car shuttle is at 10:00, so plan to arrive by 09:43 for time to unload. Due to Covid-19, car shuttle will require that you were a mask and we drive with the windows down.
Currently high temperature for the day is predicted to be 65°Fand sunny. Here is the water gage link https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=lot&gage=pryi2 which looks good.
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 waiver sheet
Hydration/drinking water BYO
