Besides that it was a good paddle. Just be warned!
I went on a trip from Plainfield to Channahon State Park in a kayak. 19 miles. The current was up after some recent rains, so we flew down river. Except for one part... Just south of Shorewood, there is the rapids section, followed by a lake and 3 channels. We decided to take the left channel, which was partially blocked by a log the last time I went. And then this happened.... Not my best moment. The log forced our boats under the water line, and we were pushed into the river. It was wet and muddy, but fortunately not too deep so we could recover.
