Conditions: Nearly perfect. About 75 degrees at put in and clear sunny skies with almost no wind.
A large group of 17 people descended on Fins for breakfast. Since 3 cars were not carrying kayaks we placed the could arrange the shuttle while we were waiting to be served, saving a half hour or so later. We put in at Dahlman’s Park and paddled 2 mile down the Lake Koshkanong to the mouth of the Rock River. We continued another 2.5 miles to the DNR Newville landing. Despite the large size of the group, it stayed together well and everybody seemed to enjoy the paddle. At the take out, Sarah suggested paddling back to the put in and 3 of us did that. (Sara, Bill and Bob.), making their trip about 9 miles.
