SUMMARY:Float the Fox with The Defenders and Paddle On! Outfitters\, Inc.
DESCRIPTION:With special guest Gary Swick from Friends of the Fox River \n  \nWhen: Saturday\, July 30\, 10AM \nWhere: meet at Voyageur Landing Forest Preserve at 50 Airport Rd. in Elgin to leave autos and Paddle On will shuttle us up to the boats. (They’ll shuttle you and your boat if you’re bringing your own.)   \nHow: order your kayak and shuttle through Paddle On! Outfitters (see URL below) or just a shuttle if you have your own boat/s.  \nStretch: Buffalo Park\, Algonquin to Voyageur Landing\, Elgin – about an eight-mile journey. \nSIGN UP at www.paddleonoutfitters.com – 815-762-4009 \nThis trip is on one of the nicest natural stretches of the Fox River\, as it is dominated by Kane County Forest Preserve property. 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? Contact trip guide\, Cynthia Kanner\, at defendersdirector@gmail.com.
