IRON RIVER -- Iron County Watershed Coalition will hosts its annual float today.
Participants will launch canoes and kayaks at 11 a.m. on Golden Lake. The entrance is a mile off U.S. 2, along Highway 16, 13 miles west of Iron River.
The group will paddle for a couple of hours and will then find shade in the park's campsites to picnic.
"This will be a potluck, and we encourage participants to bring camp chairs, beverages, and bug and sun protection," said Maggie Scheffer of ICWC. "We will enjoy a musical performance by Whitewater -- the Premos."
After the picnic, they will offer a tour of the historic Cooks Run cabin and trout-rearing station.
The cabin driveway has limited access because of a washout at the entrance. Any less ambulatory participants will have first priority to access the cabin in a high clearance vehicle. Other vehicles will find parking just past the driveway where the road widens out at a gravel pit. It is a short walk from there to the cabin and stream.
"We hope to see you for a day that offers paddling on a quiet lake with friends, sharing a meal together with music, and a visit to a one of a kind historic gem in Iron County," Scheffer said.
In the event of rain, the event will be canceled but may be rescheduled for a fall date.
