Sauk River Canoe Library

Paddle a scenic river and borrow a new canoe for free?  Yep, you can.

Friends of the Sauk River, a non-profit organization, have worked diligently to clean-up, protect and monitor the Sauk River since 2004.   Now they want everyone to enjoy paddling this scenic river that flows 100 miles before it merges with the Mississippi.

After recently receiving a well-deserved grant from The North Face, they are establishing The Canoe Library.  Beginning the 2011 season, members of the Friends can use a canoe, paddles, and pfd’s at no cost.  Their goal is to get more families, youth and children into the outdoors.

So, a one-year $10 family membership with the Friends of the Sauk River gets you a canoe.  Pretty good deal, we think.
