I own some land along the river. Last week we had a group of guys come down the river in a raft. They decided to have a little drinking party on our land and threw beer cans all over the river bank. My husband just happened to be near the river and heard them. They picked up all the cans and moved on....but bet they dumped all their cans somewhere else. If this is the kind of recreation that is going to happen, then I'm glad they will have to start their journey somewhere else.

mama be honest,that was me with another white guy and a mexican"nothing against mexicans we were rafting down the river we didnt have beet cans we were yelling at the hispanic one because he tipped us over and got us wet when papa came down and yelled at us we left and mama quit drinking so much

Be honest.....Papa didn't yell at you either. You had bottles too. Maybe you don't remember. We have nothing against someone having a good time. Just pick up after yourselves. Hubby did say that one of you had more sense than the others. Was that you?

Boy those last few details must really be a stickler.  What's it been 9 months now.  ???

MAMMA ,        :lalala:

Plug your ears because you might not want to hear my suggestion about how we could turn that little river/creek into a money maker.


" TUBE RENTAL. "      :peaceout:

 Rent tubes with a shuttle bus service. Great event for families too.

 
  I'm sure a lot of you have been to Somerset,Wisconsin before. If you haven't I will fill you in. They have two tourist spots in that little town. They have Apple River where they rent Inner Tubes so you can float down the river and get a shuttle ride back to the start. The name of the rental place I went to was Floate-Rite-Park.

They also have an outdoor area for concerts.

That's not a bad idea. But you have to consider that most of the year the Shellrock is not deep enough to do that. You'd be draggin a$$ through most of the river. Right now it is deeper than usual, due to the rain.

MAMMA ,


 Good Point about the water levels.

  When the water level is LOW we will have a sign that says  " LOW WATER , NO FAT A$$. "      :rofl:

It's about time to bring this one up again.  Beings how we are almost years since anything has been done right with the dam.  And just to help support that the commissioners screwed up again by allowing one person to influence their decision on the dam even going against the wishes of the DNR and watershed.  Whether it was the commissioner's lack of balls or just no foresight into the future.

The reason for bringing this topic up again?  What is happening south of our border again?  We all know how Iowa uses the Shellrock River for recreation and even some tourism starting at Northwood.  Now Winnebago County is taking advantage of the Winnebago River which headwaters at Bear Lake.  Their Conservation Board along with the county supervisors are developing the "Winnebago River Water Trail."  This will be a low impact canoe area.  Canoe accesses start just two miles south of the border which is roughly four miles south of Bear Lake at Dahle Park with another one just a couple miles south of that at the Lande River Con. Area, one just south on Leland at Ambroson Park and another in Forest City at Pammel Park.

You can spot these signs along highway 69 with the first one just two miles south of Emmons and the next canoe low impact landing about three miles west of Lake Mills.

Many people have put in a lot of their time to start to clear the river of debris along the farmlands the river goes through.  Tomorrow, June 6, there will be a Winnebago River cleanup to prepare for next week.  Anyone wishing to help should meet at the Pammel Park shelterhouse in Forest City at 1:00 PM.
