This little guy was found in a cornfield and nowhere near the river so don't sweat it. Also he is teeny teeny tiny, I got rather close to get that shot

Monday. River Run Day?

If there are clouds in both Indianapolis and Cleveland foreclosing experiencing totality, I'm totally hitting the riproaring Dowagiac on Monday instead. This River on this day will not be appropriate for inexperienced paddlers but I hope someone out there will want to join me!

Since I don't want to spend $2,000-$3000 a year on Kayak/Canoe Livery insurance just to break even at the end of the year, I've decided to just to offer my boats gratis to pretty much anyone that asks nicely 😁 First of all, it gives me a GREAT excuse to be on the river. I'm also trying to pay it forward in honor of my dear friend the late Leonard Hamrick, the first person to take me kayaking.

Currently booking trips daily through August 16th. All boats/trips must be reserved in advance. If you haven't spoken to me personally on the phone, you DO NOT have a reservation.

The clouds are dissipating, and the full moon's rising. Time to Run the Dowagiac River again!

Despite the standard - issue waterway public access sign, there is no boat ramp here - you'll lose your whole truck off the side of the cliff. This is PADDLER access ONLY :)
