Canoe trip scheduled for Shell Rock River June 14
The Shell Rock River Watershed District is named for its outlet, and the public will have a chance to see the natural beauty of the river by canoe Saturday, June 14. The District, in partnership with School District 241 Community Education, will host a canoe trip down the Shell Rock River, from the dam on Albert Lea Lake to County Road 7.
The Shell Rock trip will start at 10 a.m. and end around 1 p.m., depending on weather and water conditions. Participants are encouraged to pre-register to ensure space and equipment. They should park at the boat landing on County Road 19 (South Shore Drive). From there, the District will provide rides to the launch site on the Shell Rock River. At the trip’s end, a bus will provide transportation back to the boat landing.
These canoe events are open to the public. Anyone under age 14 must be accompanied by an adult. All participants must sign a liability waiver.
To register:
Call the Watershed District at 377-5785
Or stop at the watershed office on the first floor of the historic county courthouse
The trip includes use of canoes, paddles and life jackets. The public is allowed to bring their own canoe if they prefer. Wearing a life jacket is mandatory and people are encouraged to bring their own for the optimal fit. Participants bringing children must bring life jackets for them. Rain gear is also advised.
These canoe trips offer a great chance to see wildlife and learn a new sport.
These events are limited to 22 paddlers each, so call soon to reserve a seat.

These trips are a great way to try out canoing. The river does most of the work for you, if you want to take it easy or aren't proficient at paddling.

QUOTE What ever happened with the great deal that the county board and Jensen were working out? One county commissioner said and I quote, "We can have a deal worked out with Greg Jensen in two hours."
That was six months ago.
:
Albert Lea Tribune 10.09.08
QUOTE Jensen said the county board had appointed Belshan and Glen Mathiason to negotiate a deal on the dam. Belshan and Jensen on Wednesday said the deal is done except for a few last details
Six months to the day and still no deal
QUOTE Jensen and Belshan called the deal they worked out less expensive than the joint bridge-dam plan. They said the bridge will be cheaper, the dam will be cheaper and the county doesn’t have to pay for land .
In less then three months we could stand to lose around $200,000.00 because of the County commissioners dragging there feet. How is that saving the county money?
I want to hear peoples responces when the county commissioners tells us that they are going to raise property taxes to fund a new dam because they let state funding slip away.

I heard last week that they are close to a deal again, but no access. If that is the case, I am not sure why we would spend a nickel on the dam?

The ONLY people that let any money or funding slip away is your watershed board. Not the people that owned the land around the dam. You think certain individuals help things up, well your greatly mistaken. Look to all your great leaders on these committee’s that you've help put in place. I’m sick of reading the same garbage about blaming the land owners for what your elected officials can’t accomplish.......

And which great leaders are your referring to? The watershed board still has their money. It's been moved to a different account.
