In celebration of autumn, the Winnebago County Conservation Board's Fall Canoe Paddle will offer free canoe usage on Sunday at Thorpe Park’s Lake Catherine, which is about five miles west of Forest City.
The free event is from 1:30 to 3 p.m. and about five canoes will be available at the boat ramp on Sunday. Life jackets, paddles and refreshments will be provided, as will instruction for those with little or no canoeing skills.
Since there are a limited number of canoes, there might be a small wait. To pass the time, visitors are encouraged to bring a fishing pole, hike the trail or try their hand at geocaching.
For information, call Robert Schwartz or Lisa Ralls at (641) 565-3390.
