STICKY< PLEASE.

PICKUP & PADDLE AT CADRON CREEK [RESCHEDULED - Follow link below for latest information!]

Prizes! Fun! First Swimmer Award! Secret Eddy Prize!

Join in the fun RAIN OR SHINE as we beautify a mile of highway 65 and paddle through the rapids of Cadron Creek. We will pick up the trash along our adopted one mile of Highway 65 and then paddle the creek. We will be paddling from EITHER Mill Bridge or Pinnacle Springs Bridge to Highway 65, which is full of play spots. Depends on the water level. Or we could split into two groups. All you need to bring is your boat, your lunch, and a pair of gloves for touching the trash. Trash bags will be furnished and the Highway Department will collect the trash bags when we are through. Our fastest collection time so far has been twenty minutes, but count on a little less than an hour.

Meet at 10:00 A.M. in the parking lot under the north end of the Highway 65 bridge over Cadron Creek. The bridge is located about two miles north of Greenbrier on Highway 65. The road down to the parking lot is Ozark Drive and is located about three quarters of a mile north of the bridge; it is the same road you would take to get to the Ozark Trade Center, on the east side of the highway by the big blue sign. There are brown Cadron Creek Access signs on the highway shortly before Ozark Drive on both sides of the highway. Take Ozark Drive all the way down to the end to get to the parking lot.

Here’s a link to a Mapquest map with a star at the point where Ozark Drive is located (about 1400 Highway 65 N):

Big fun! Prizes! Surfing contest! First Swimmer Award! Secret Eddy prize!

We'll get the chore out of the way and romp on the river. The first person to come out of their boat will receive the coveted "First Swimmer Award". This award is gratefully given by the group for taking the pressure off of the rest of us. Another award will be handed to the best surfer at the traditional lunch spot wave (whether we eat there or someplace earlier in the romp). This tricky wave has vexed many paddlers lately and needs to be taught a lesson by some ace surfers. Back by popular demand is the "Secret Eddy" award, to be given to the first boater to catch the special eddy selected. Nobody knows which eddy has been selected, but you can be sure it will be a difficult one that requires superior skill and unequalled bravery.

We will go to Joe's Pizza (or paddler's choice) after the Pickup & Paddle.
Come one! Come all!
Bring gloves!
10:00 a.m. at the Highway 65 bridge.
Be there! Be there!
