Kankakee Trip Cancelled for This Weekend
If you’ve been watching the weather forecasts you know that the weather outlook for this weekend is not good. We were going to wait until closer to the weekend before deciding whether to cancel, but the canoe outfitter in Kankakee will not be allowing canoes out on the water this weekend due to high water levels, even if we had no more rain. The water level at Momence, Illinois is considered at minor flood stage, and the river gauge upstream at Shelby, Indiana shows moderate flooding. Due to the high water there is floating debris (logs, etc.) that can make boating hazardous.
If you are interested, see the National Weather Service river levels: http://water.weather.gov/ahps/.
We will let you know when we decide whether, and when, to reschedule.
