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.

It was another fine day to be out for a water adventure. Even better when you have Aquamans doppelganger showing up with his family! Lots of happy faces this weekend as they played about on and in the water. Hoping that you got out and enjoyed this 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

Mother Kaw was much nicer today than last weekend. Plenty of blue sky, happy paddlers, great flow and we even had an eagle stay perched up in a tree as we floated underneath her. Looking forward to many more Adventures like this to come during the 2019 paddling season.

We had a great turnout at the Rising Sun boat ramp

We had a great turnout at the Rising Sun boat ramp for our first annual spring cleanup! 5 45 gallon bags of trash and 5 unspent shotgun shells picked up! Thanks to Dirty Girl Adventures and their crew for bringing the help! Sooooo appreciated! Also a shout out for Ball Hauling for waiting the disposal fees for the trash that was picked up! The township had also been at the boat ramp grading the parking area and cleaning the mud from the ramp area. Thank you all for your help and volunteerism to keep this area beautiful and accessible! Let's get this paddling season underway!!!

Hey paddlers! This is little late on notice but tomorrow 4/13/19 Dirty Girl Adventures and Up a Creek going to be at the Rising Sun boat ramp between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. to cleanup up the boat ramp area. There isn't a lot of trash in the area so it won't take too long to get this completed. We will provide the trash bags if you can provide a little bit of time to help clean up the trash and debris that has built up over last fall and winter. If you've used this boat ramp and would like to help us keep it clean show up and give us a hand (or two) to help us keep this area beautiful! Thanks in advance!!!! #dirtygirladventuresks #friendsofthekaw #kansasrivertrail #kansasriver #kayaking
