Boatball, Wed, 6 pm, Chamber Springs access of Illinois River
Posted: Mon Sep 19, 2016 8:39 pm
Just a heads up ...Bikes, Blues & BBQ starts on Wednesday so traffic could be extra heavy so plan your commute accordingly.
Please post up if you plan on joining us so those of us that drive a good distance can save time/gas if we're not going to have enough for a game. I will make every attempt possible to post up here by 4:30 pm, Wednesday, on whether we have enough to play so be sure you check back here before making the drive.
Note: All players are required to wear a PFD and a helmet. All players understand they play boatball at their own risk.
Link to information on what boatball is & the "rules" of play, if interested, can be found here:

Directions: Take Hwy 412 headed west from Springdale towards Siloam Springs. After the second bridge that crosses the Illinois you will get in the next left turn lane which will be Chamber Springs Road. There is a metal building with a big sign "Riverside Fireworks" where you turn. Head south on dirt road approximately 200 yards and you will arrive at parking lot for access. We will be in the pool at the access or if not, put in & paddle up river of the bridge (which will be to your left facing river) & you will find us in the next pool up river from the bridge. If you need something to plug into your GPS here is address for Riverside Fireworks, where you turn onto the dirt: 17023 Chamber Springs Rd, Siloam Springs AR 72761.
