Please join us for our annual mid-summer float down one of Indiana's most water reliable streams as we journey down the sandy beached East Fork White River in south central Indiana. Our trip will begin at the Azalia DNR boat ramp located about halfway between Seymour and Columbus. We will travel 12.1 miles to our take-out at the Rockford DNR ramp a few miles north of Seymour. Azalia is located about 55 miles south of downtown Indy via I-65. This should be an easy shuttle of a total of 17 miles. The East Fork generally has a steady 2-2 1/2  m.p.h. summertime current and is overly loaded with numerous, long sandbars making an easy decision for a lunch break exit. The Azalia-Rockford section was last paddled by the HCKC in 2013. The Azalia access is located about 8 miles south of Columbus on CR 800 South between U.S. 31 and S.R. 11. It is located on the SE corner of the bridge over the river (DNR sign and parking lot) and shown on page 51 C-11 in the Delorme Atlas. The stream generally runs a steady 125-200 feet in width throughout most of this section. Over the years we have paddled five different sections of the East Fork ranging from Columbus to Sparksville. Our meeting time will be at 10 am when we will unload boats and prepare for the shuttle to Rockford. Contact me by Friday night (10 pm) to sign up at canoeindiana@yahoo.com or (812) 767-1317. I will have my cell with me Saturday morning. Sincerely, Richard Tekulve, East Fork trip leader for the last decade.
