Description

Spend a day in the wilds of McHenry County as we paddle seven miles of Nippersink Creek completely within the undeveloped areas of Glacial Park. Meet at Keystone Landing to learn basic paddling techniques, canoe safety, and river canoeing as well as some natural history of the creek. The trip includes a stop for a primitive picnic so bring a sack lunch and plenty of water to drink. Wear shoes that can get wet and fully secure to your feet. Don't forget sunscreen! Children ages 5 and 6 may attend but must sit in the middle of the canoe. Be aware there are no restroom facilities along the creek.
