Kayaking in the Black River gets more popular every year.  Thanks in part to the 2011 Black River Kayakathon, kayak and canoe put-ins at the the Black River Wharf have risen from 54 put-ins in 2010 to 132 put-ins in 2011.  There is still time left to paddle the Black River as the weather is still cooperating.  My wife and I recently put-in at the Black River Wharf for a Sunday afternoon on the river and spent 3 hours paddling.  Fall is a great time for paddling and we are looking forward to the summer of 2012 for even more boaters using our facilities.  The Black River Kayakathon will be held again in the summer of 2012 so plan on getting acclimated to the river for the race.  Visit www.lorainblackriver.com for more information. additional information
