What a great weekend to be out and about! UAC had

What a great weekend to be out and about! UAC had a group of paddlers out for a Sunset Float. .we saw a a nice half Moon and a wonderful time on the sandbars with a campfire 🔥 and s'mores! Still plenty of time to get out on the river for an outdoor adventure. River flow rates are low right now for lots of paddling and sandbar lounging! #paddlingkansas #lfkofficial #kansasrivertrail #kansasriver

Hey Paddlers! UAC was out on Mother Kaw last weeke

Hey Paddlers! UAC was out on Mother Kaw last weekend with Lava Yoga Lawrence and Community Yoga Shala YTT crew for a great day of floating. The river was full of sandbars as the flow rates have come down. The floating was great, the sandbars were beautiful and the sky was full of puffy white clouds overhead. We're hoping to get out a few more times this paddling season. We have a sunset flow scheduled for September 3rd. 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. let us know if you're interested in joining! #lavayogalawrence #communityyogashala #kansasrivers

Great day on Mother Kaw yesterday! With a schedule

Great day on Mother Kaw yesterday! With a scheduled sunset float we had to improvise and move it to a day float because the water levels are so high right now. Although we found very few sandbars there were enough for a few breaks and game of volleyball (without the net) with a bouncy ball that we found on one of the sandbars. Awesome to be out on the river again and we hope to be back out soon!

Hello paddlers! Long time no gram. We were scheduled for a sunset float today but the high water has eliminated most of the sandbars. We've opted for an afternoon Perry to Lawrence run! The high flow rate will make the 11 mile distance quick fun! We'll have some more floats coming up in July August and september. Keep an eye on our schedule at www.upacreei.biz #paddlekansas #kansasrivertrail #kansasriver

UAC was able to get out for a little private time

UAC was able to get out for a little private time on Mother Kaw this weekend. The weather has been so unpredictable lately. We had to cancel a float on Saturday but were able to get out on Sunday. Becca and I took the boys, Blue included out for their first time on the Kaw! Even though it's cool the boys got in for a little Wimhoff cold water practice. Lol A little te on the water certainly has a way of getting one's head space right!
We have a few floats up on the calendar that are still open. Give us a buzz so we can get you out on the Kaw soon!

UAC, Jack and Friends were Clinton lake this weeke

UAC, Jack and Friends were Clinton lake this weekend for a day paddle. Clinton lake always makes us a little nervous as we watchful for winds that cause the water to be choppy but it was a spectacular Saturday with a gentle breeze, calm water and sunshine on the paddlers as as they made their way through Coon Creek area!
Check out our calendar www.upacreek.biz as we have some day floats and sunset floats posted.
We hope to see you all out on the water soon!

Long time no Grams paddles! We hope you've been we

Long time no Grams paddles! We hope you've been well and survived the Kansas winter! On Wednesday we had that 84° day so Becca (aka LL Bean model :-)) and I got out out to see how Mother Kaw was doing. It was such a splendid day! Sun on your shoulders, light breeze and some pretty chilly water! LOL We were able to see plenty of eagles and thousands of geese as we floated the gorgeous day away. As we continue to climb out of winters grip and the weather warms the geese will be moving on but the eagles will stick around as well all the sand bars and a great current for us to enjoy spring, summer and fall 2022 on the river. Our first scheduled flow will be April 30th and will be getting some other dates on the calendar soon!

One of the beautiful things about living in Kansas

One of the beautiful things about living in Kansas is seeing the changing seasons. Although summer time is a great time to be out on the Kaw basking in the summer warmth Fall brings a stillness and contemplation of the beauty in the trees changing their color, a clarity in the water and if fortunate to see eagles resting in the trees above you. This Saturday October 23rd we will have a Fall float on the Kansas River. Give us a buzz if you'd like to join. We have a few more openings for this float.

Let the Fall Foliage floats begin! The weather is

Let the Fall Foliage floats begin! The weather is turning cool and the trees leaves are turning their beautiful bright colors. Join UAC in October and early November to see the Fall foliage. Let Mother Kaw carries you down the river and you float underneath majestic colorful trees and blue skies. It's a great time for you to be out to enjoy nature and are changing season.

After 2 weeks of oppressive heat and then 3 plus i

After 2 weeks of oppressive heat and then 3 plus inches of refreshing rain it's going to be a fantastic day to be out on the Kaw! In today's float we've got some Missourians, Nebraskans and Kansans out to enjoy a nice flow rate and some beautiful temperatures. If you haven't joined us yet for a float this season check out our calendar at wew.upacreek.biz and get signed up. Floats are filling up fast as we start moving into our Fall season floats.

Hello Paddlers! Last night was our first sunset fl

Hello Paddlers! Last night was our first sunset float since 2019. So great to spend an evening on out on Mother Kaw even though we didn't get to see the full moon rise. Great paddlers, a beautiful sunset and some tasty s'mores were a great way to start off our sunset series for 2021! As we sit around the campfire one of the paddlers wanted to start a gratitude circle. We begin talking our way around the circle expressing gratitude towards friends, family and the wonderful evening that we were experiencing. It was awesome! We will have to try it again on future floats. August 21st is our next sunset outing, Blue Moon Float. Sign up now has kayaks are limited to 15 paddlers. Looking forward to seeing you out on the water soon!

Addy and Blake's Farewell Float was a little bitte

Addy and Blake's Farewell Float was a little bittersweet. So happy for both of them as they begin a life in Austin and feeling sad as we we'll miss them here in kansasland. Addy has been a great help to UAC over the years, she never minded getting her hands dirty loading or unloading the gear and she can back a trailer full of kayaks with the best of them! Wishing both of them the best in Texas and will certainly be down soon to test the kayaking possibilities in Austin! UAC loves you Addy and we are going to miss you sis! @addylannne

A great day on the river! Plenty of Sun, sandbars

A great day on the river! Plenty of Sun, sandbars and water! The humans and the dog we're just bystanders but they absolutely enjoyed themselves! If you want to be a bystander that these type of great scenes come join us for afloat sometime! Thanks to all that joined our family style float today! It certainly was a grand time!

We had a great flow this weekend on the Kaw. The water levels are still up which lent to some nice floating. Large cloud banks produced one rain cell that unleashed a pretty good soaking but it gave way to blue sky and sunshine and the warmth that the it brings to wet skin. To experience and be a part of nature in its multiplicity of forms and expressions certainly makes one feel alive!

Hello Paddlers! It's been a full year since UAC has been on the river. With covid restrictions we wanted to send a shout out to let you know that we are ready to get you back out on the water! May 15th will be our first float. We're planning on doing a Niel's Float. It will be a nice 4-mile little jaunt on the river to get our water legs soaked again. Join us for this float or you can check out our website www.upacreek.biz for more scheduled floats. We certainly hope to see you out on the water soon!

Happy Labor Day weekend paddlers! Sending out a mo

Happy Labor Day weekend paddlers! Sending out a morning picture from the Kansas River and a note to let you know that we will not be paddling this Labor Day weekend. We have been off of the river since May 5th. Too long! Way too long! The corps of engineers are telling us that we should be back out on the river by late October. Hopefully in time for a few fall floats. We hope that you all have a safe and relaxing Labor Day weekend.
