I am leading a Stateline Paddlers trip from Castle Rock State Park to Lowell Park, Dixon on Sunday October 6, 2013. Car shift will be at 10:00, plan to be there 09:30 to 09:45 to unload. The trip is about 13 miles. If some wish a shorter trip, you can stop at Grand Detour, about 6 1/2 miles.
The trip is stating at Castle rock because Oregon has a BIG festival that week end, and a car/tractor show at East Park making parking uncertain. We will stop for lunch at Grand Detour.
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
Hydration/drinking water BYO,
Lunch BYO
Dump bag – Dry bag w/change of clothing

Paddle the Kishwaukee river from Baumann Park in Cherry Valley to Atwood Park on 9/21/2013.

We will meet at 9:30 am on 9/21/2013 at Baumann Park in Cherry Valley.  Car shift at 10 am and be on the water at 10:30 am.  Bring a lunch, for we will be eating half way down at Black Hawk Road.  The water gauge today is at 5.54 feet and running at 242 cubic feet per second.  I hope we will get some more rain on Thursday and Friday to help with water levels.

Both the Stateline Paddlers and Prairie State Canoeists or anyone are invited to come.  The water levels are low so the risk to paddle is low.  However if we get a lot of rain the conditions could change.

 

For more information call Jeff Reuter at 815-494-8502.
