Wabash River Trip – Lafayette Area – Aug. 29, 2020

It’s that time of year when often many of our local streams are too low to enjoyably paddle.  The Wabash River should have plenty of flow for easy paddling.  The dry times of the year also make the big rivers low enough and clear enough to enjoy the streambed, the real essence of their beauty.  This year’s paddle will go from Davis Ferry Park to Granville PAS, about a 13 mile trip.  If someone wants a shorter trip, they can cut about 4 miles off the trip by getting out at Fort Ouiatenon Park. 

Meet at Davis Ferry Park at 9:30 am.  We should be ready to run the shuttle around 10.  To get to Davis Ferry Park from the Indianapolis area, take I-65 towards Lafayette.  At exit 178, take ramp right for IN-43 toward West Lafayette.  Turn left onto IN-43, heading south.  Turn left onto Burnetts Rd., it should be the first road to the left after you are on IN-43.  Burtnetts Road soon comes to a “T”, turn right onto N. 9th St. Rd.  After you cross over the Wabash River, Davis Ferry Park will be on the right.

The HCKC requires all paddlers participating in Club events to wear a PFD at all times while on the water.  COVID-19 social distancing and face masks on the shuttle will be in effect along with HCKC waivers/Covid self-screening.
