Weather and water levels permitting, pre-registered participants will then be shuttled to Avoca and canoe back to Botna Bend on the West Nishnabotna River, learning about the ghosts of the Nishnabotna's past.
Registration is not required for the program at Botna Bend, but pre-registration (and a $10 fee) is required for the float. Fee includes canoe, paddle, and life jacket rental, and shuttle to Avoca. The float will end at Botna Bend and participants will be free to leave, or stick around for the other All Hallow's Eve festivities at the park. Click here to register by October 11.
