Notes
Meet at Lions Park in Winfield on Beecher Avenue. Bring water, sunscreen, a snack, shoes that can get wet, and a towel and change of clothes in case you get wet. If the water level is low, you will be required to walk the kayak downstream to deeper water. The trip ends at Warrenville Grove Forest Preserve.
Rented kayaks have a 300-pound capacity. Private watercraft must have one well-fitting Coast Guard-approved wearable personal flotation device for each passenger and either an Illinois water usage stamp or state registration.
