Join the Commodore and other Yacht Club veterans on Saturday, October 15th, as we explore the Mill Creek in our boats. On this urban stream adventure you will see surprising beauty of tree-lined riparian corridor running along side Cincinnati's major highways. MCYC supplies all necessary equipment for the paddle trip.
The paddling voyage will start at Haffey Field, the site of a recently completed restoration project in Reading, OH. The 4 1/2 mile journey will end at Caldwell Playground Park in Carthage. We will spend about 3 hours on the water with educational stops along the way, plus about an hour of combined time on the land before and after paddling. This section includes passage over 2 soon-to-be-mitigated low head dams, past the confluences of the West Fork Mill Creek and Congress Run, and views of another MCA restoration project near the old Hartwell Golf course. Water level may create need for last minute changes in route plan and/or dragging of canoes at times
