Event Information
- Description
- This Saturday i offer a chance to get back on local fast water after a long winter, and renew skills in river reading and boat control in current on the nearby Baraboo river. Meet at 10AM at Park St circle (N end of Park St by the Union), return to Madison about 6PM. We would put in at Hatchery Rd upstream of Rt 12, boat 2 km of scenic quietwater thru rolling farmland, then hit class 1 easy whitewater with fast current, eddies and rock gardens thru the historic downtown of Baraboo, culminating at the surfing wave by Circus World just before the takeout. Since it is still early in the season with cold and somewhat high water, I require a R3p in kayak or strong R2 with reliable roll and good boat placement skills, or for canoe, R1 for tandem or R2p for solo. Everyone should a helmet and wetsuit or dry suit, and should have footgear that will stay on if you need to get out and push the boat off a shallow spot. The club has wet suits and dry tops you can use. This trip is parallel with a Mad City Paddlers trip, so there will be other river enthusiasts joining us on the river.
