Driftwood River

Saturday, May 2

This is a fun trip for all skill levels but is long so you need to have the stamina for a distance paddle. We start at Furnas Mill on Sugar Creek which joins the Driftwood. Our take out is 14 miles downstream at Lowel Bridge near Columbus. Be prepared with sunscreen, water, lunch and paddling gloves in addition to your regular gear. The meeting time is on the early side in order to get on the water ahead of the folks from Blue’s Canoes Outfitters. The trip leader will monitor conditions and if there are any challenges will put out an email to registered participants by 7 pm Friday evening.

Meeting time:     9 am

Meeting location:  Shell station just off I-65 at exit 80.  Once participants arrive we will caravan to Furnas Mill on Sugar Creek. If you prefer to meet us at the put in, just notify the trip leader.

Shuttle:  9:45 am shuttle to Lowel Bridge On Water: 10:45 am

If you have not done so for this year, PLEASE FILL OUT THE NEW E-WAIVER.   HCKC is moving to a new electronic waiver system instead of our old paper waiver.  This only needs to be completed once each year.  If you have already submitted your e-waiver, you do not need to do it again until next year.  If you are bringing a non-member guest, they should use this e-waiver.
