Canoe down the river in your own backyard.  This full day paddling adventure will start below the dam on Lake Decatur and take us to Lincoln Homestead State Park.  Bring a lunch that doesn’t need refrigeration, as we will picnic on the river.  Dress to get wet and bring a towel, just in case.  All other gear will be provided.  Maximum 12 campers.  8am – 4pm.
