This is a very good program with knowledgable leadership. Canoeing the Cache River was very interesting, and not something I would have attempted on my own. The leaders were very accommodating of the wishes of the participants. It's a good opportunity to try a variety of canoes and kayaks to find out which you like best. The park lodge where we stayed was beautiful and the park itself had a lot to offer beyond our canoeing field trips. I would recommend adding a couple of extra days to explore the park, or other state parks in the area, particularly the Tunnel Hill State Park Rail Trail which is 45 miles long and less than an hour' drive away. Also, if you enjoyed this trip, consider the Road Scholar programs at Trees For Tomorrow in Eagle River, WI. They are slightly longer and very good for both beginners and experienced paddlers.

Curt and Crew opened new vistas to a place that I grew up in as a child and teenager. I saw the other side of the picture and their presentations made the picture more complete. Chuck K.
