SUMMARY:Kayak and camp weekend on the MKE river
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we do a couple of awesome experiences in one weekend. We will be tent camping at Waubedonia Park on both Friday and Saturday nights\, and paddling on both Saturday and Sunday on the Milwaukee river. These segments of the river have woodlands\, farm fields\, small homesteads\, scattered small islands\, and wildlife along the way. There are a few riffles in some spots to liven up the gentile flow of the current. This is normally a very quiet segment of the Milwaukee river and perfect for one to bond with nature. There is no motor boat traffic on this stretch. \nWhat’s the game plan? \nFriday afternoon- Meet at Waubedonia Park\, set up your tent in the reserved camping area (sites have been paid for). The evening meal will be on your own – we will be happy to provide some great local ideas to grab some food. Camp fire chat in the evening as we overlook the river in front of us and toast up some s’mores and get to know each other. \nSaturday morning – Wake up\, morning breakfast on your own. Head up to our launch area\, get a safety brief before getting on the water and go paddling down river. This will be about a 13 mile paddle down river. Pack for a lunch – as we will take a break on the river. \nSaturday evening – Silent Wake will provide the evening meal (chicken breast\, veggies\, bread\, and fruit). Relax and share stories of the day around the camp fire. \nSunday morning – Wake up\, Silent Wake will provide breakfast (Hot ham and rolls with doughnuts – from the local bakery as well as fruit). Pack up your camp site. Bring shuttle vehicles to launch and paddle back to camp site. Paddle down river to takeout location\, which is about 12 miles down river. Pack for a lunch – as we will take a break on the river. \nSkills needed for this trip – previous kayaking required for this trip because of the total distance. \nItems required – Tent/sleeping pad/sleeping bag/camp chair. Appropriate paddle clothing for the water and air temps/rain gear. Snacks/food/water you wish to consume beyond the meals we will provide. You may bring your own kayak/pfd/paddle or reserve this gear with us upon registration. If bringing your own kayak\, please note this is not a fiberglass friendly river. This is an alcohol free trip. \nTotal milage paddled – 25 miles \nLimited spaces available – maximum participants of 8. Detailed trip information will be provided upon registration. \nIf water conditions are unsafe for this trip (current too fast/too high) – payments will be fully refunded. \nCost – $125 per person.
