KAW RIVER FLOAT TRIP SCHEDULED FOR OCT. 13
Five-mile float trip brings
water enthusiasts to one of state's natural treasures
September 20, 2007 - The Kansas Department
of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) is teaming with Friends of the Kaw
on Saturday, Oct. 13, for a 5-mile float trip down the Kansas
River. Participants will meet at the Eudora Ramp at noon and
shuttle back to Mud Creek. The float should take approximately
five hours, ending at Eudora around 5 p.m.
The Kansas River -- often referred to as the "Kaw"
-- is a recreational treasure and has been a well-kept secret
among a few paddlers and anglers, but it is fast becoming a valued
recreational resource for thousands of visitors each year. The
Kansas River is one of three public rivers in Kansas open to
the public for fishing and boating. Permission must be obtained
to cross private ground to gain access to the river, except at
developed public access sites. KDWP has worked with Friends of
the Kaw and local communities along the Kansas River to develop
more of these public access points.
More information and registration forms for the
float trip are available at the Friends of the Kaw website. A limited number
of canoes and kayaks will be available to rent, or participants
may bring their own equipment. Float sponsors advise participants
to bring snacks, drinking water, sunscreen, hand cleaner, dry
clothing, and any other appropriate gear for the day.
