Registration is closed

Come and join us for the annual Sand Creek trip this year on Saturday, April 3rd.                                                                                                                            

We will be paddling the standard and traditional long-running  HCKC route which hundreds have floated over the years from Westport to the Brewersville Bridge that covers 12.1 miles with a gradient of 5.1 f.p.m. This is one of the prettier, scenic runs in the state containing two rock-cut mill races and many overhanging limestone  formations. In the last few years it has quadrupled in paddlers from clubs and organizations from Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana and is not a "locals only"  discreet stream as word has spread of its "talents". The Brewersville access is privately owned but I know the owner since I have a small log cabin downstream from him and he has been cordial enough to let paddlers use this site for years barring any major incidents which luckily haven't occurred.  Westport Covered Bridge/Dam  access is located 2 miles east of the SR 3/Westport flashing light. Simply go east on Main Street through downtown Westport (roads turns into county road 1100 south)  for 2 miles and cross the  Sand Creek bridge and the dam and access are immediately on your right.

  The meeting time will be @ 10AM. We will also have the usual lunch stop.  Please contact me by 9pm on the 2nd at 812-767-1317 or by email at canoeindiana@yahoo.com    I will have my cell phone with me on the day of the trip so please call if you are running late or lost as happened last year. Sincerely, Richard Tekulve, North Vernon IN.  the trip leader since 2006.

If you have a choice, bring your light boat, water levels are a little low.
