Barron Fork is popular for swimming at access points but won't have the
constant stream of canoes that the Illinois River experiences - an important
consideration since this will be a holiday weekend.
The 'start-point' will be determined within the next couple of weeks.
Welling Road bridges the creek near it's confluence with the Illinois River
and may make a fine start for us. There is another
bridge further upstream along Route 51 which may make it easier for everyone
to meet.
There are many camp grounds in the area. A simple Google search for
"Illinois River Oklahoma" should bring you to numerous websites. However and
as mentioned earlier, this is a holiday weekend and space
may be limited if you plan to stay in the area.
If you plan to go, please post your intentions on the OKCAA forum
