FWHP June 23-24, 2012: Eureka Lock Paddles

This paddle weekend features a beautiful stretch of the Upper Fox River featuring outstanding opportunities for viewing many species of birds. Flow in this section of the river generally provides a nice "push" and accomodations along the way support an outstanding experience.
