Paddle Bearskin Creek Sunday, April 26th from 1:30 – 4:30 pm
Hi fellow paddlers – It’s hard to believe, but it’s time to dust off your kayaks or canoes and grab your paddling gear. If you have been looking at the future weather forecasts it indicates, we need to be on the water. I checked the creek today and it is at a perfect height to paddle. So, let’s paddle the Bearskin Creek from the Goodnow put-in, where the creek crosses Lakewood Road to the take-out at the Harshaw Rd/Church Rd intersection. We will gather at 1:30 p.m. at the put-in to unload our boats and gear and prepare for the shuttle. This stretch of the creek is one that most of us are familiar with, seeing that the state bike trail crosses it with its many historic railroad trestles. Canoes and kayaks can be easily used. No rapids or waterfalls to worry about. PFD’s are required. For those interested, a side trip to the Ten Point Bar/Grill. which is close by, is an option after the paddle. Invite a friend along and enjoy the first NPT paddle of the year. If you do not have a boat or need help in transporting your boat let me know. Invite a friend along and share the fun.
Directions from Rhinelander:(23 min, 18 miles) From the intersection of Hwy 47 and K, travel west on Hwy K and turn right onto Lakewood Rd after the elementary school. Stay on Lakewood Rd to the put in where the state bike trail crosses the road right before the bridge. Parking area on the left. See ya there!
