(at railroad track) * Canoeing NOT recommended between Farmer’s Market & University Ave. Bridge due to dams, steep cement walls and lack of access sites. Take into account starting & finishing points, the experience of each boater, weather conditions, and water levels. All rivers become more hazardous as the water rises. Know your ability and do not exceed it! State law requires a Coast Guard Approved life jacket for each occupant of each boat. All non-swimmers should wear their life jackets. All transported items should be tied to your boat to prevent spillage. Please know when you are entering public lands on your trip so that if you leave your canoe, you are not trespassing. Respect the rights of private property owners and other river users. Please carry out all that you take with you; pitch in and pick up after others. Please let someone know where you are canoeing and when you will return. Please help preserve and protect the river resources for future generations. Leave all vegetation and wildlife as you found it. Wash your boat & equipment before entering another body of water to help reduce the spread of invasive species (Zebra Mussels, Hydrilla, etc.).
