Several new events are rapidly approaching, and all are set on the Big Sioux River.

On Aug. 1, the SDCKA will host a cruise that starts in Canton at 1 p.m. Gathering spot will be near the river access on South Lincoln Street in Canton.

On Aug. 4, a Sioux Falls run (shown in the first picture) with a focus on clean-up is set. This event starts at 5:30 p.m. at the river access on 57th Street, located near the DQ. Meet at the lot, then help get trash and junk off the river for a few hours. Dave and Mary Finck are running this operation, so join them if you wish, and if you have questions, call Dave at 605-366-6844.

On Aug. 15, ShaRon Kelly is leading a BSR trip of length - Dells to past Baltic - that starts at 9:30 a.m. The trip is set to highlight the necessity for work on the low-head dams that are near Baltic, and it includes a run through the Dells of the Big Sioux River. ShaRon will meet with folks at 9:30 a.m. and then he and others will shuttle vehicles as needed. There is a long portage around two low-head dams near Baltic. For information on this event, call ShaRon at 605-323-8053.
