All members and friends of the Fellowship and their guests are welcome!

  • This has been a summer highlight for many of us for 30+ years.
  • It will be an easy paddle: all ability levels and ages are welcome!
  • We’ll meet at the route at 10:30 am. We’ll be on the water about 5 hours: we float a lot and
    stop to picnic and swim.
  • Cost: Canoe or kayak rental will be $50-60, depending on the route, and includes canoe or
    kayak, shuttle, life vests, and paddles.

If you’re interested in coming, please submit your preferred:

  1. Dates. Please indicate ALL dates you’re available. Feel free to rank them:
    • June 13, 14

  2. Routes. All routes are about 90 minutes from LFUU and 7-8 miles long. Please rank:
     
    1. Cannon River from Cannon Falls to Miesville Ravine Park (what we did last year and really
      liked!)
    2. St. Croix River from Interstate to Osceola (what we did for a few years before last, liked but
      was crowded)
    3. St. Croix River from Sunset to Wild River State Park (what we did for many years before
      that)
    4. No Preference
