Smooth sailing ahead 🛶

the tree was cut up this morning, and both kayaks were recovered!

huge shoutout to Nathan & Josh for tackling this mission! if you enjoy floating this stretch of river from Iverson Bridge down, please thank them for their hard work!

* update * a few guys headed down stream this morning to clean up what they can! Shuttles will resume as normal!

🚨 Hazardous tree down 🚨

Located between Iverson Bridge and the campground

A tree fell within the last day and is now stretching across most of the river. The current is pulling directly toward it, creating a very dangerous situation.

Two kayakers came across this spot today and were swept into the tree. They made it to shore and were rescued by the sheriff’s office and fire department — thankfully, both are safe.

All shuttles are paused until the hazard can be addressed. We urge you not to float this stretch either. We left a message with the Highlandville DNR.

**update** The DNR suggested finding the landowner to see if they can hook a chain to the tree and pull it towards the bank with a tractor. If anyone has a contact for the Blake or Iverson Family Farms about 1 mile south of Iverson Bridge, please reach out.

We are also looking for two aluminum kayaks — one floated downstream and the other may still be trapped under the tree. If you happen to see one, please let us know.
