The Highway 164 access to the Illinois Bayou just north of Scottsville has been rebuilt as part of the project to replace the bridge over the Bayou. The State Highway Department agreed to maintain access to the Bayou after they received a request from the public. I have thoroughly enjoyed the 10 mile Class 2 paddle from the Highway 27 bridge at Hector down to this spot.
I am tentatively planning to paddle this section of the Bayou on Saturday, 1/14/12, meeting at the Highway 27 bridge just north of Hector at 10:00 a.m. to unload and drive cars (shuttle) to the new access on Highway 164. I’ll need some company in order to be able to make the trip. Post if you are interested in joining in.
maybe.. and I think your forecast is generous. Will have a better idea tomorrow
I can’t leave Clif by himself. Gonna be cold. I was wanting to see some icicles though.
