Sangamon

Definitely worth the drive for a beginner looking to get some surfing or hole playing experience under his/her belt. The whole length of the sangamon river is pretty tame class I stuff except for this nice little drop in petersburg. We drove 2 hours and weren't disapointed. More experienced paddlers may be bored with it or feel it wasn't worth the trip, but if you live close and are looking for a whitewater fix, this is the place!
