DATE CHANGE!  THE DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO SUNDAY JULY 9, DUE TO THE WEATHER FORECAST BEING POOR ON JULY 8

Location: Cagles Mill Lake/Cataract Falls

Date: July 9, 2023

Sponsors:  Jan Rugaber shodan5834@yahoo.com and Judy Thompson judy_thom@hotmail.com

Calling all recreational kayaks and canoes for a fun paddle to see the falls...beginners welcome! This is a 7.2 mile paddle from Cunot Public Access Site up to Lower Cataract Falls.  Although it should be easy paddling, this is a lake paddle, so there is no current assist.  From the lower falls, folks who want to, can take the path along Mill Creek to get to the upper falls (about a mile). Of course, we will be paddling in July so seeing the falls will really depend on water flow. Be aware that when we paddle east from Cunot, the lake opens up for a bit and it can get choppy at times, especially on a windy day. Hope lots of you will make the 1 hour trip west of Indy to explore this beautiful area which is much bigger and not as built up as Geist or Eagle Creek. We are beginning early to hopefully get a jump on the heat.

You need to display an Indiana DNR launch permit on your boat while on this lake.  The cost for a non-motorized watercraft permit is $5.00.  If you do not already have one, you should be able to purchase one at the gatehouse for Lieber State Park.

Meeting Place: Cunot PAS (From I-70 take exit 37 and go south on IN 243 until you run into IN 42. You will go past the entrance for Lieber State Park and through the little town of Cunot before you reach IN 42. Turn west (right) on IN 42 and go about 1.5 miles. You will cross a large bridge over Cagles Mill Lake. Turn right at the sign for Cunot PAS.)
