Eagles & Icicles, 2-1-14

[kru1]

The Northwest Chapter of the Arkansas Canoe Club & the Ozark Mountain Trading Company (OMTC) are co-sponsoring our 4th annual Eagles & Icicles recreational float trip on the White River on Saturday, February 1st. This is a family friendly event on mild Class I water, a great way to meet like minded people, and a good opportunity to try new gear. Last year's turn out was great with approximately 35 participants. Depending on weather and conditions, we may do a four mile float to the Spider Creek Access or an eight mile float to the Houseman Access.

We will meet at OMTC in Garfield, AR (http://goo.gl/maps/iTzDF" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) at 9:30am to load boats on a trailer and will depart for the Beaver Lake Damn at 10:00am. OMTC will open at 8:30 and they will provide free coffee and doughnuts. We have seen icicles every time and we have seen eagles on two of the three floats. Feel free to contact me or BJ at OMTC if you have any questions or simply post them on this thread.

Come on out and join us, we look forward to seeing you there!

Sounds great! My cousin lives just 5 min. from the outfitter in Garfield and I've made several trips up there lately, two of which included stops at the dam to ponder paddling there sometime. Glad somebody's facilitating that so I can satisfy my curiosity!

As I've learned, don't forget to post to the "trips" forum.
