Kendrick Park to Mill Park

About This Float Segment:

A very short and swift float out of Kendrick Park and away from the thick vegetation that lines the upstream passage. The water picks up speed here as it drops down to meet the Little Goose Creek. Within seconds of passing under the second foot bridge you will enter the recently altered stream channel. This alteration is new and has not been evaluated yet, and as such, should be portaged around to the confluence at Mill Park.

Quick and Dirty:

Known hazards: The stream channel changes are not complete and are of unknow danger as of February 2024.
Wildlife: Hawks, falcons, buzzards, ducks, geese, box turtles, mink.
Vegetation: Cottonwood (Populus spp.), Willow (Salix spp.), Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa), Showy Milkweed (Asclepias speciosa), Wild Rose (Rosa spp.), Red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea)
