Schedule of Events:
Friday - October 4
- Group to Depart Pier 99 Marina at 10:00 am.
- We will pass through the Markland Dam and Lock, then continue downstream 28 miles to the Rivercrest Lighthouse Marina Restaurant in Madison Indiana for lunch. This is a floating restaurant made from an old paddle wheeler. The food is good and the view is even better!
- After lunch we will continue downstream for about three more hours of boating fun to Louisville. The docks are 3 blocks from the hotel. We are hoping to have a shuttle. Friday evening cruisers are on their own for dinner but we are sure to find some fun spots to gather.
Saturday - October 5
- Saturday is going to be a great day in Louisville. Our host hotel is located in the middle of one of downtown Louisville’s most exciting areas. There is a nationally renowned St. James Court Art Show in Old Louisville the weekend we are there. It is definitely worth visiting! Whiskey Row is just down the block from the hotel, Waterfront Park is a third of a mile to the north, Old Forester Distillery is even closer. Evan Williams is a short walk as is the museum district, the Louisville Slugger Museum, and the Yum Center. Finding things to do will not be difficult!
- Saturday Evening, we will have a reservation at a local restaurant for the group.
Sunday -
Following breakfast, the group will be back out on the river cruising back to Warsaw. The group is sure to enjoy a relaxing day boating back to our starting point. At this time of year, we normally have the water all to ourselves for what promises to be a beautiful early autumn day.
