Let's Paddle the Blue River!

It's the end of December and it's going to be 63 degrees. Let's get in one more paddle before 2025 ends.

THE PLAN:

We'll meet at Rothrock Mill public access. We'll unload our gear here and then run the shuttle. Once the logistics have been taken care of, we'll start our paddle down one of the most beautiful sections of river in Indiana.
We commonly see eagles, Great Blue heron, hawks, deer, cormorants, and various ducks and geese. Others have seen beaver and otter (I haven't been that lucky yet) There are also tall rocky cliffs along this section of the Blue. Along with the views, we'll enjoy the company of some pretty cool people. We generally stop on a gravel bar for lunch around noon or so. Make sure you bring lunch. There is some great rockhounding along this stretch of the river (if you're into that sort of thing).

This is a 10 mile paddle to Blue Chapel. There are some slow spots that you will have to paddle through and there will be a few spots where the water moves pretty quickly and can be a little winding. As always, please know your abilities before joining in. If you have any questions, ask me.

WARNINGS!!!

This is a COLD WATER paddle. While the air temperature is going to be in the 60s. The water temperature is going to be very cold. Please wear a dry or wet suit. If you don't have those, bring a towel and change of clothes in a dry bag. Just in case.

If you need a rental, please message me.

By the suggestion of Lisa Walters, we'll be trying out Mr. Poncho in downtown Corydon. If you've never seen Indiana's first state capital, he's your change. Come on out!

If there are any questions, post 'em up in the comment section, send me a message, or give me a call.

I hope to see a bunch of you out there!
