A Flooded Chippewa River





This past Saturday, March 14th, The Outdoor Adventure Co. led by 3 Guides (Rose, Jacob and Gabriel) helped navigate a dedicated group of 10 paddlers down the flooded Chippewa River. Cloudy skies and constant drizzle (ok, even a few "river baptisms") couldn't dampen the groups spirit.

OAC hit the River at Winn Rd around 10:45am. The group pulled into lunch at Meridian park about two and a half hours later. After some of Rose's famous Dill Pickle Wraps, a few cups of hot cocoa, and likely some bad jokes, the paddlers were back on the river. Under the covered bridge, through the flooded golf course (and some more polar bear club members) and on to Island Park in downtown Mt. Pleasant, we pulled off the river around 4:30pm.

An excellent paddle group on this trip and we hope to see all of you back on one of our next Adventures!

Paddle On,
O.A.C.
