This will be a 7-mile leisurely float from Mill Rock Access to Wenkel Ford. Fishing is the primary purpose of the trip, but it is open to anyone interested in a slower pace. This underutilized river is surprising scenic with sandstone bluffs along a good portion of this route. Fishing is usually good. This trip is appropriate for paddlers with an intermediate skill level. Please do not bring a boat over 14′ long.

Minors are welcome if accompanied by their parent.

Bring a lunch, snacks, and enough liquids to stay hydrated. Sunscreen, bug spray, sunglasses and a hat would probably come in handy. PFD’s will be required. Since the water will still be fairly chilly, a change of clothes in a dry bag should be brought in case of immersion. This trip will be contingent on a favorable river level and weather on the day of the event.

Meet at the Eureka Walmart parking lot at 7AM to consolidate gear to as few vehicles as possible, then proceed to the put in point at Mill Rock Access. We would then shuttle as many vehicles as possible to Wenkel Ford.
If anyone feels they must drive directly to the put in point take I-44 west and get off at exit 225 in Sullivan. Turn right and immediately left on Hwy WW to Hwy 185 ( about 1/2 mile.) Turn right on Hwy 185 and go about 2 miles to Hwy H. Take Hwy H 11 miles to Mill Rock Rd. turn right on Mill Rock Rd. and go 2.5 miles to Access. Do not follow directions from any GPS device, as it will take you to the wrong side of the river where there is no parking and no access.
