Lunch: We'll find an appropriate shore location for lunch.

Toilets: There is a Co-op food store and a Co-op gas bar on hwy 330, a few blocks after you drive over the La Salle River into the town. There aren't any formal toilets along our paddling route.

Boats: If you don’t have a canoe or kayak, we can try to partner you with a canoe owner who is looking for a bow paddler.
