Rock River from Beloit to Riverside Park, Sunday 26 June 2016.
We will meet at the launch site at 4th St (Route 213), Beloit, WI in the bicycle co. parking lot, just north of the Rock River at 09:30 am.
For a shorter trip, if there is interest, we can run a second shuttle on the other side of the river to stop at Macktown FP.
It is about a 6.5 to Macktown and 13 mile trip to Riverside Park.
The car shuttle will leave at 10:00. This should allow us to be on the river at 10:30.
We will stop for lunch at the Rockton Dam that we have to portage around.

Here is where we start in Beliot, WI
This was a wonder full day on on the Rock River from Beloit to Riverside Park. It started off clouded and 75 and then turn mostly sunny and got to 86. The Rock River gage at Rockton was at 4.06 ft. and 4760 cfs. My GPS showed 12.84 miles but I know it cut out a few times so it had to be more.
