It is looking like we have a warm weekend on tap! If you choose to recreate on the Clinton River, whether by canoe or kayak, please keep these 5 safety tips in mind!
- The river water temperature is only in the mid-sixties at this point in the season. Cold water can lead to hypothermia quickly, even in warm air temperatures.
- Wear a lifejacket. The river has eddies, currents and strainers that can cause problems for even the strongest swimmer.
- Watch out for fallen trees and underwater logs. While efforts are made to keep the river clear, we see the most debris fall during the spring season.
- Pack out your waste. There are trash receptacles at each of the landings and near the bridge at Dodge Park!
- Have fun! But do so responsibly, and watch the weather! Storms can quickly raise water levels and increase flow rates.
