Shattuck Park to Lutz Park - July 21  ↵P2PLock05

The granddaddy of our paddle series, Park-to-Park gives paddlers a taste of river paddling and the open water of a small piece of Lake Winnebago. The Menasha Lock will be closed. We will portage around the lock and dam. A group of Menasha High School soccer players will again be there to help carry boats. (Bring along some tip money or write a check later to support their team.) The Lower Fox displays some of the area's most dramatic houses on the way to the landing at Lutz Park and birders are often rewarded with an eagle siting.
