Meet at Lions Park in Winfield on Beecher Avenue. Bring water, sunscreen, bug spray, and an extra pair of shoes and a towel in case you get wet.
The trip will end downstream at Warrenville Grove Forest Preserve. You will need to arrange to have your car at Warrenville Grove at 5 p.m. or to have someone pick you up (with your kayak or canoe if you bring your own).
Rented kayaks have a 300-pound capacity. Private watercraft must have one well-fitting Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device for each passenger and either an Illinois water usage stamp or state registration.
