Boatball, Wed, Sep 4, 6 pm, Chamber Springs Rd. access

Post by wiredforsound » Tue Sep 03, 2013 11:16 am

Boatball, Wednesday (i.e.,tomorrow evening), September 4, starting at 6:00 PM at Chambers Springs Road access of Illinois River.

Also, looking forward to hearing some trip reports from those who ventured out east to paddle over the Labor Day holiday weekend!

Please take the time to post up if you can make it out.

Link to information on what boatball is & the "rules" of play can be found here:

Come on out & check it out. Great way to improve your paddling skills, great exercise & just plain fun.


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 buiding 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. Put in your boat there & paddle up river of the bridge (which will be to your left facing river ... kind of hard to tell without much current ) & 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. Also, Google map: http://goo.gl/maps/yuia" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
