From my inbox

Due to the dangers of high winds, the May 22 Canoe and Kayaking event on the Missouri River from Highline to Mulberrry Point has been cancelled. Visit www.mnrrwatertrail.org for further information.

Join area river enthusiasts for an outing on the Missouri River Water Trail. The route will be from Myron Grove (Highlines) near Meckling, SD to Mulberry Bend near the Newcastle-Vermillion Bridge. We will meet at the Myron Grove boat ramp at 9:00am. (To get to Myron Grove, drive east from Yankton or west from Vermillion on Highway 50 to 454th Ave, then turn south and drive 6.5 miles to the Missouri River.) Unique features of this segment of the river include Goat Island and the Gunderson Backwater.

Shuttle service from the takeout back to Myron Grove will be provided by DJ’s Sports Rentals of Yankton until 2:00pm for $10 per person payable at the event. Provide your own kayak/canoe, or rent one in advance from DJ’s (605-665-3206). www.djssportsrentals.com). No guide service will be provided; you must be able to navigate on your own.
