It will truly be unique in many ways. It will be an opportunity not only to appreciate the beautiful Fox River and its abundant bird life. This may be your last opportunity to paddle the Carpentersville dam’s impoundment as the dam is scheduled for removal this fall.  This may also be your last time to portage (woohoo!) and when we do\, we’ll be met by Gary Swick\, President of Friends of the Fox River.  Gary will discuss the dam’s history and benefits of its removal for restoring the health of the Fox River. We’ll also stop for lunch at Rosie O’Hares in East Dundee right along the river. Expect an approximate 5-hour day with dam removal talk and lunch.    \nQuestions?
