About this event
Description
We're sorry, but this program is over. The last meeting was Saturday, August 17, 2024.
Spend a day in the wilds of McHenry County as we paddle seven miles of Nippersink Creek completely within the undeveloped areas of Glacial Park. Meet at Keystone Landing to learn basic paddling techniques, kayak safety, and river kayaking. The trip includes a stop for a primitive picnic so bring a sack lunch and plenty of water to drink. Wear shoes that can get wet and fully secure to your feet. Don't forget sunscreen! Be aware there are no restroom facilities along the creek.
Registration is required for all adults and children that will attend. Children ages 13 and under must be accompanied by a registered adult.
