Evening Canoe Float Scheduled

As the beginning of the school year draws closer, families are going to want to get outdoors a few more times and spend some quality time together. And, the Winnebago County Conservation Board has the perfect opportunity for families (and others) to do just that. The Board will be sponsoring an Evening Canoe Float at Thorpe Park’s Lake Catherine on Wednesday evening, August 10.
From 6:-8 p.m. that evening, people will be able to use the Conservation Board’s canoes, paddles, and life jackets free of charge to enjoy a leisurely paddle around Lake Catherine. The event will take place at the lake’s boat ramp/fishing dock and instruction will also be available for those people whose canoeing skills may be a little rusty! People are encouraged to bring along a fishing pole, as well, if they’d like, in case there is a short wait for a canoe. Information will also be available about the Winnebago River Water Trail as well as fishing in Iowa.
There is no need to preregister for the Evening Canoe Float; people only need to show up at the boat ramp between 6:00 and 8:00 PM for a relaxing summer float! In case of inclement weather, the float will be postponed and that information will be on KIOW Radio (FM 107.3), as well as on the WCCB web site (www.winnebagoccb.com), the WCCB Facebook page (www.facebook.com/WinnebagoCCB), and the WCCB’s Twitter feed (@WinnebagoCCB). For more information about the event, people can contact Winnebago County Naturalist Lisa Ralls at 641-565-3390 or at lralls@winnebagoccb.com.
