Row, Row, Row your boat, gently down the stream....

We are a loose group of paddlers around Watertown South Dakota. This blog is a meeting place to coordinate trips and share information. We are at the heart of many miles of the Big Sioux River and hundreds of lakes and wetlands to explore.

Catching up

Took out the wood kayak last night (no leaks). What a beautiful night to work out some frustrations and sore muscles. Just a light north east breeze, just enough to keep the sweat down but not enough to keep the mosquitoes off. The tunes I downloaded from ocean lab really match the paddle rhythm and the water just cruses by. I only had time for a couple of miles but finished feeling refreshed and comfortably tired.

Spring Time

Yes I think it is finally here. The river is running and the ice is starting to disappear  Only 24 days until the South Dakota Kayak Challenge.
Not a lot of runoff from the Big Sioux Basin so if you want to run the river, it should be soon.
