The mission of the Rock River Regatta is to promote paddle
sports, the Rock River and the communities surrounding Mayville &
Horicon,
while emphasizing fun, camaraderie and competition. The event is held on the scenic Horicon Marsh Canoe Trail. The
start is at Greenhead landing and the finish is in Horicon at
Bowling Green Park which is next to your host the
Rock River Tap. Check out the
course map for details on the Marsh.
New for 2011 After 11 years Brad is handing over the event to Bob from the Rock River Tap. It is in good hands!
Time trial format so you can start when you want any time after 9:00am on Sunday until 11:00 am. Go a couple times if you want.
Open to all canoes and kayaks. Come enjoy this exceptional
section of the Rock River and paddle straight through the largest cattail marsh in North America.
Course & Race Info: The water depth varies from 1-6 ft deep. The current
is negligible and there are weeds in the shallow sections. It is not
a place for a kayak with a non retractable rudder! The upper section
is twisty and it empties into a series of shallow bays. The bays
connect to the main ditch which will carry you to Horicon. The
course is well marked.
Cost is $15.00 per paddler
pre-registered, $20.00 on race day.
All racers are eligible for the post race ice
cream feast!
Don't forget the great food and setting at the
Rock River Tap
Food & Beverages:
The finish line is at Bowling Green Park which is
literally few steps away from the Rock River Tap. They have great food
and beverages and the best view of the finish line from their nice deck.
Car Shuttling:
The driving distance between the put in and the
take out is quite short. We are in the process of developing
a
shuttle and we will post the details when we finalize them.
This is a friendly town so trust us that you will not be stranded.
