Re: High Bank construction volunteers needed Nov 19th

A big thanks to everyone involved. I should stop being amazed what can happen when one of us puts out the call for volunteers. A big job gets a lot smaller when there are plenty of hands to turn out. Thanks to all involved and I can't wait to see the new and improved High Bank access. 20161119_10141...

Re: Santa coming to Club meeting?

OK ? OK? We would be fools to not capitalize on our good fortune of having Santa in our chapter. I think we could even spend a small amount for every kid. Rick West makes some cool nose plugs, he might be convinced to give us a bulk price. I think nose plugs are a good idea because they are colorful...

Re: New Member Seeking River Information

This time of year is hit and miss. It all depends on rain. With that being said, there are a few year round options. The Elk, just into Missouri, flows but the party factor keeps most true boaters away. The Illinois can be run from several put in/ take outs. The most popular is from the WW park to H...

rescue courses.
Sign up early and get your paperwork in, because the

Re: Illinois Hogeye to Prarie Grove

Spot on description Cpresoz. To eyeball a level, go to the put in and look downstream of the bridge. The first ledges you see right after the bridge should be easily runnable. Here is a map to the complete run. https://goo.gl/maps/8PFKfdiLPKB2 with an early take out on Kinzer road about a mile upstr...

Two writers from out west are coming to Northwest Arkansas. They are from two separate magazines, both promoting outdoor, family interests. One from California and the other from Utah. Paddling was among their top interests to see and promote. They will be touring NWA for a few days and want to spen...
