Kayak down Blue River

"Join us on an exciting trip down the Big Blue River through Shelbyville. This section of river begins with wooded banks, passes under six bridges, through many fields and ends at a city park. During spring, this river can be very swift. We will stop at a sand bar to enjoy lunch or a snack. Although this section of the river passes through a bit of the urban part of Shelbyville, most of it is farmland. Much wildlife can be seen on this trip, I have seen a Bald Eagles, Turtles, Blue Herons, a variety of Ducks and Geese, and a young owl was spotted during one paddle.
Meeting Place: {N39°36'39.71”, W85°44'58.30”} We will meet at the put-in, Roger Shaw Park in Shelbyville which is about 40 minutes from Indianapolis. Travel Southeast on I-74 to SR 9 (Exit 113) then turn left to head North 4.25 miles to CR 600 N. Turn right and travel 0.92 miles, the park is on the right side just before the bridge over the river.
Take-Out: {N39°31'33.68” W85°47'22.18”} Sunset Park in Shelbyville.

Trip Requirements: There are some strainers and water levels may produce swift current so good boat control is absolutely necessary in these areas. If water levels are lower, portages may be an option.
Every trip that I have led down this stretch has resulted in some people getting wet, just be prepared with proper dress and supplies, and please wear a lifejacket.
