An unguided 3-hour relaxing paddle on the Salt Fork/Vermilion River when Middle Fork water levels are too low. The broader river with shallow sandy bottom offers clear visibility and opportunities to explore sandbars, with wildlife viewing and a casual pace suitable for summer paddling.
A full-day unguided paddle covering both the upper and lower sections of the Middle Fork River, starting at Kinney's Ford and finishing at Kickapoo State Park for almost 13.5 miles. Departures limited to 10:00 am or earlier with paddlers required to return by 5:00 pm.
An unguided paddle down the lower section of the Middle Fork River, launching from Kennekuk County canoe access (or alternate Bunker Hill site) and finishing near Kickapoo Adventures store. This broader, longer section features forested valleys, towering cliffs, and small riffle areas; considered beginner-friendly though all rivers contain hazards.
An unguided paddle down the upper section of the Middle Fork River, launching from Kinney's Ford Canoe Access and finishing at Kennekuk County Park, approximately 5.5 miles. This section features smaller, more technical stretches with narrower passages and potential obstacles; previous paddling experience is suggested when water levels exceed three feet.
Kickapoo Adventures operates unguided paddling trips on the Middle Fork River, Illinois' only National Scenic River. The upper section (5.5 miles from Kinney's Ford to Kennekuk County Park) features technical stretches with narrower passages and potential obstacles, recommended for paddlers with experience when water levels exceed three feet. The lower section runs from Kennekuk County or Bunker Hill access to the Kickapoo Adventures store, offering broader channels through forested valleys and towering cliffs with small riffle areas, suitable for beginners. A full-day option covers both sections for nearly 13.5 miles, departing by 10:00 am with a 5:00 pm return requirement. When Middle Fork levels drop, the operator shifts to the Salt Fork/Vermilion River for a relaxed 3-hour paddle featuring clear visibility and sandbars. All trips include paddles, PFDs, and shuttle transportation. The business also offers Introduction to Kayaking lessons on Clear Lake covering safety, equipment, and fundamental strokes, plus lake rentals and tubing on the Middle Fork.
