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 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 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.

Hello Paddlers! A small group of UAC enthusiastic paddled Clinton lake today. Sometimes I cuss going to the lake because I love the river so much but once you get out on the water with the water lapping up against the kayak and the sun on your skin and a warm breeze in your hair you remember how much is just important to be out! We're hoping that you were out at some point this weekend to get some adventure on you.

Hello Paddlers! It has been a while since we poste

Hello Paddlers! It has been a while since we posted but with the water so high we haven't been getting out. Today on the way home from Lawrence I crossed the Lecompton bridge and saw two paddlers walking in with kayaks to the Rising Sun access point. The gates are locked at the road so it's quite a walk in. We really appreciate people wanting to get out and paddle but we cannot stress enough the dangers of being on the river at such a high flow rate. Today's CFS (cubic feet per second) is 47,400. That's an average foot depth of 14 ft deep and a lot of power pushing water down the Kaw. Average flow rates are 3,000 CFS. We would advise anyone to not get on the water at this time. If you do paddle use caution, obey the laws, do not trespass, always wear your life vest and know the environment that you're paddling in. The USCE believes that flow rates will get back down to a normal level by July. Please be patient and wait until flow rates are at a safe level to get out on the river. #kansasriver #kansas #kayakkansas #kayaking #safepaddling #canoeing #lawrenceks #perrykansas #topekariverfrontauthority #lecomptonkansas #topekakansas
