Cancelled - Boatball, Wed, Aug 1 @ 6 pm, Chamber Springs
Posted: Mon Jul 30, 2012 8:56 pm
Boatball this Wednesday, August 1 starting at 6:00 PM at Chambers Springs Road access of Illinois River.
The water was still cool last week & for the most part the area we play in is shady so come out and play or practice your roll or just hang out and watch if you're not sure. Great exercise and way to prepare for the upcoming fall whitewater paddling season.
If this is your first time to come out and play take Hwy 412 headed west from Springdale towards Siloam Springs. After the second bridge that crosses the Illinois you will get in the next left turn lane which will be Chamber Springs Road. There is a metal buiding with a big sign "Riverside Fireworks" where you turn. Head south on dirt road approximately 200 yards and you will arrive at parking lot for access. Put in your boat there & paddle up river of the bridge (which will be to your left facing river ... kind of hard to tell without much current ) & you will find us in the next pool up river from the bridge. If you need something to plug into your GPS here is address for Riverside Fireworks, where you turn onto the dirt: 17023 Chamber Springs Rd, Siloam Springs AR 72761. Hope this helps you find us.
