Paddle under bridges and the giant flag, rather than walk over the Big Mac!
Note: We will be using the unofficial launch spot on the WEST side of the road at Scheck's campground; it's easier to launch boats from that spot.

 

This is a morning trip; it's a wonderful time to enjoy our hometown river.  We will put in at SCHECK'S Campground, and paddle at a leisurely pace.  Within the first hour, we'll pass through the newly formed river that is now free-flowing, since Brown Bridge Dam was dismantled in 2012.  If you haven't yet been through that area, you are in for a real treat! 
 
There will be a SHORT break at the Brown Bridge Landing, but you won't have to SHLEP your boat and gear up the hill there.  We will proceed on down to the landing at SHUMSKY Road.  Hopefully we will avoid the people who might be sleeping in on the holiday. 

 

Paddling time should be about 3 - 3.5 hours, so we should be done before noon.  If people want to go out for lunch, we can do that too!
