Annual Saturday before Memorial Day Paddle on Rock River (5/25/24). Meet at Oregon East Park at 09:30 to 09:45 car shift at 10:00. Total trip about 11 miles to Grand Detour, with the option to get out at Castle Rock Boat Ramp (4 3/4 miles) where we stop for lunch.
Bring your own kayak or canoe, PFD (life jacket), paddle(s), lunch. Wear PFD on water. Adults must sign a waiver for minors and must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
This is a rather easy trip, with the fastest water the first couple hundred yards from the launch.
Apologies for not posting this sooner, but I just got back from a camping trip Tuesday, and my wife’s birthday was yesterday, so I was distracted.
