AFAIK, the Kish has remained below flood stage even with the down pour of over 5 inches further to the east last week. (The Des Plaines was a different story)

Kishwaukee River Gage

I have been monitoring the level because I am thinking of taking a day trip soon.

Thanks for the info. You gonna make the paddlefest?

I would like to. I have heard the Kish is a really nice river to paddle.

However, I am going to be out of town the weekend of paddlefest.

Maybe next year I can set aside that weekend in advance.

I will be there. If that's not a good enough reason to show up, I don't know what is.

Looks like it is on the 29th? I thought it was originally scheduled earlier, but maybe I was looking at bad/old info...

Does anyone know if there will be rentals available there? I don't have my own boat.

Thanks!

Yes, there will be rentals. Both yaks and canoes. Oh and you can bring your guitar if you wish.

You know you're the only reason I attend this event Dave. Just wear your jacket. :)

Good to hear about the rentals. Don't think think I will bring the axe along, but good to know it's welcome :)

Bump, one week away.

Will need to keep an eye on this. Looks like parts of the river are closed because of the flooding.

From the look at the river levels the kish will be good for paddling by the weekend.

Anne and I will be on stage from 1-3. Anne will also be doing several of her own songs (which are great). Looking forward to it!
