Paddle On Outfitters has teamed up with the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County and Paddle the Kish in Marengo. Join us April 30th for a leisure paddle through the North Branch of Kishwaukee River. Our voyage will begin at 10am by parking at Siems Memorial Park in Union. There Paddle On will have your kayaks ready for you. If you would like to bring your own kayak, Paddle On will have a shuttle service available. Tickets for rentals and shuttles are available at www.paddleonoufitters.com or their Ticket Tailor link: https://buytickets.at/paddleonoufitterscom/653663. All paddlers are required to fill out a paperless waiver after you have purchased a rental or shuttle ticket.
The trip could take up to 3 hours to complete. We will be keeping track of water levels throughout that week. We highly encourage bringing towels, plenty of water and a light snack. All rentals will have life jackets provided along with paddles. Dry boxes will be available to rent through the Ticket Tailor link. All paddlers bringing their own kayak are highly encouraged to provide their own life jackets.
Age requirements: All ages are able to attend. We do not encourage newborns or very small infants to attend due to the potential dangers. Trained guides will be available if you are a beginner and/or want to learn. After the trip, Paddle On will provide a shuttle back to Siems Memorial Park. Checkers is a local favorite in Union, and all who attend are encouraged to visit after the trip for lunch and a refreshing drink.
What a way to welcome the springtime air! Come paddle with us! Any questions, please feel free to ask Paddle On through their website or call/text 815-762-4009.
