Description


Tentative plan, definitely subject to change.....

Friday, June 3-
Camp at either Harvest Farm Campground, north of Kendalville OR at county campground in Kendalville. Both are beside river and are commercial campgrounds.

Saturday, June 4-
Canoe to Bluffton, Iowa, stay at commercial campground. (OR... could stop at a Winneshiek County primitive campground enroute, or at beautiful Chimney Rock commercial campground)

Sunday, June 5-
Canoe to Decorah, Iowa... or a point upriver from there, depending on time.

I need to check mileage and how fast a person can reach these campsites and take-out points.

For more information on canoe liveries (for rentals and shuttles), go to this earlier thread till I double-check and repost information.....
