— I will try to host this on a warmer day. Sorry. — Join me on Sunday May 18th for a fun paddle down the Eau Claire River from Harstad Park to D Bridge in Fall Creek. This is a paddle for everyone, no rapids, sandy river bottom. Meet at Harstad Park at 10am to unload. We will shuttle cars to the end at 10:30am. PFD required. A change of clothes in a dry bag is a good idea just in case. Bring water and a snack. We will be on the water for about 3 hours (roughly) with breaks along the way. Should be a fun time! Hope you can come along!

Many of us have done Elk Creek before, but it is nice to go up stream and enjoy the calm serenity of the river and listen to the birds in the spring when the water levels are a bit higher. Going up stream from the main lake takes about 15-20 min. There may be a couple times we have to get out of the kayak and back in due to low waters in certain areas. It is usually just about 10-15 steps on sandy bottom and then you get back in. The waters may be a bit chilly still and so wearing a pair of rubber boots up to the knee might be helpful. If you don‘t mind a bit of chilly feet, than just wear tennis shoes. If you do not want to hop in annd out of the kayak, you can paddle around Elk Creek lake. Sea kayaks might be a bit more challenging for this paddle, but not discouraged.
