Meet at the Forks State Forest Campground launch from 9:30 to 10am. We can use this time to stage vehicles downstream. I have a pickup and trailer that will hold 8 kayaks. Even if you don't plan to head down the river, please show up to see us off.
Stage vehicles downstream at Brown Bridge Landing. Be ready to start at 10am. For those wanting a shorter trip I have provided a waypoint for Scheck's Place State Forest Campground. New kayak caches will publish that day so there will be plenty of FTF opportunities.
Paddle the UPPER BOARDMAN
The best of the Boardman is the upper river which begins when 2 small streams, the north & south branches, converge near Supply Rd & Brown Bridge Rd, about 15 miles SE of TC. Here, the river is narrow, quick & shallow, averaging 15-20 feet wide and 2-4’ deep. The riverbanks are mostly forested with some open meadows and a few scattered cottages. The final couple miles along this stretch of river is quite open & the banks are filling in with new growth as the ‘new’ river flows through the former Brown Bridge Pond area.
Forks State Forest Campground – Less than a mile from Supply on Brown Bridge Rd. There is a platform launch, new parking area and vault toilet (3.5 miles by dirt road, 2-3 hr. float to Scheck’s). (Ranch Rudolf is located between Forks & Scheck’s, but there is NO public exit or launch)
Scheck’s Place State Forest Campground – Located on the east side (upstream side) of Brown Bridge Rd, primitive launch, grass parking, vault toilet in season. (3.5 miles by dirt road, 1.5-2 hr. float to Brown Bridge).
Brown Bridge Landing – Platform launch, dirt & grass parking, vault toilet in season, on Brown Bridge Rd just east of Garfield Rd.
