Cache River Trip

October 19 @ 6:00 pm – October 20 @ 5:00 pm    Free – $11.50

Come explore the northern most cypress swamp in the country. Enjoy views of the oldest and largest cypress trees in the state of Illinois. The Cache River is a biodiverse environment with interesting views. Come paddle the Cache River Canoe Trail to enjoy a real bayou experience with no “gators”. It is an easy paddling with very flat water and no appreciable current.

We will be paddling the Cache River on Sunday and camping the night before at the Village of Karnak Campground. We will meet at the campground at 6:00 pm.  I have site 16. To make a reservation, call 618-634-9311. (There are bathrooms and electric.) You can access a map to the campground below.

If you cannot join us for camping, meet us at 9:oo am Sunday morning at the Lower Cache River Access in Ullin, Illinois.  Lower Cache River Access – Google Maps

Bring your lunch and everything you normally bring for a day on the river.

Suitable for young paddlers and their parents or guardians.
