More then one boat will fit in large slips, T.I. is OK with that.
We park empty trailers on south end of camp site.
If you like to keep your boat on trailer at night, you can park it by your camp site.
Bring some fire wood if you have room in back of your truck, TI has fire wood but they charge for it.
If your new to boating on the Miss. and St.Croix rivers, ask around for some one that you can follow.
It's marked well, but easy to get into wing dam's or lose sight of marker buoys.
If you have never been thru a lock, also ask about it. Pretty easy if you know what to do.

-
Shawn, the general info says we can beach our boats if we decide to stay at TI...so in that case no need for us to reserve room in a slip, correct?
-
I've been lucky enough to have Beach area overnight, but it depends on the activity schedule of the casino. If a big concert is scheduled Friday or Saturday night and you plan to return late, there might not be a spot to park. Of course you could always put it on the trailer if this occurs.
-
There was a big concert there last year and still had lots of room on beach. No guaranty next years there will be room though. But like Mike said you could trailer it.
-
Looks like there open and taking slip reservations.

Are you wanting a room for Saturday night only?
-
No, I was checking Thursday through Sunday, but it wouldn't let ya because of that Saturday being full; I'll probably just camp it tent or trailer.

Sorry if this is in the wrong topic, I want to come to this for my first time. I can only go on Saturday. Where should I launch? Where is everyone meeting before they leave? How far is it from TI to kinnickinnic? Thanks!
-
Most will leave from T.I. Maybe 8 mile to Kinni ..
Other options are St.Croix bluff park, if you have a MN. park sticker it's free, or get a day pass. Limited parking for about 60 trailers, so if full you have to wait till some one leaves. Fisherman come early and leave early afternoon. Timing is everything.
Hubs is in Hastings. Not sure of rates. Shouldn't be a problem there with waiting to launch. Maybe 4 miles from Kinni.
Windmill in Afton, must be about $30 to launch now. Plenty of dock workers to help launch and load, golf carts to take you to and from your truck. Maybe 4 miles from Kinni.
Beanies across from Hudson, not sure of rates, maybe 6 miles from Kinni.
Might be others ...
-
I'm assuming is safe to plan on launching at TI Saturday morning?

FYI
No day launch’s at hubs
Hastings Marina is $15 I think.
Also a free launch north of bridge (no dock and lots of current)

-
Jaycees Park in Hastings is free. Just downstream from Lock and Dam #3 and just upstream from the bridge.
About 15 miles from Treasure Island to Kinni.
-
I'll just plan on launching at TI. I used to go in the river years ago when I had a much bigger chaparral, but I only ever been between Hudson and Prescott. I've never negotiated the locks, so I'm not quite sure what to do there.
-
There is a public launch at Prescott that I've dropped injured boats off at. Not sure the fees.
-
Lock's can be scary first time thru. But after first time it's easy .. unless your motor won't start .. LOL
So you can't "Day Launch" at Hub's ?
The launch across from Hub's is Jaycee Park. Strong current, no dock, lot's of parking, some large rock along beach where you park boat while parking trailer.
Never used it but there's another in Hastings .. Hastings Marina.
Mike .. I've heard the one in Prescott is semi private ? Very small parking lot.
-
We used hasting Marina. It was a very nice ramp and the cove is completely out of the current. Good dockage on both sides of ramp. I think it was a $25 for day launch 2 years ago.
-
We use the Hastings marina all the time... $15. Big enough for 2 boats to launch at a time. Good parking. couple miles from Prescott, then North About 6 miles to kinni.. or south About 13 miles to t.i. Good place to start from if you don’t want to make the long trip from t.i. I got those miles off the Minnesota guide books. By the way... they are free from the Minnesota dnr.
-
Hmm that might be a good idea to launch from hastings and go up to kinni
-
This is "final"... (added some color)
I've been wanting a "Boat hair don't care" shirt, so I made one up...
Scott, is it too late for you guys to make these? If so, I could post to Cafe Press instead... lmk, ok?

i just wanted to comment on the river level being low right now. its going be important to pay attention to the channel markers as the wing dams will be quite close to the surface.
some places you may have run other years will be shallower.
also there is a lot of debris stuck around the Kinni from the flooding a month ago so we will need to use caution there as well.
i will post more info closed to meet time.
-
We took the 16CSS out Thursday evening, ran down to the cove, then up to the kinni.
they are piling sand in the cove, still lots of space. lots of beach showing at the hawg.
there are no problems running in the channel, its just important to stay in the channel, and when going to shore to go from the channel straight into shore, in the case of the nautihawg there are wingdams both north and south of the beach.
There are still lots of big trees stuck at the Kinni, lots in the no wake, and the north beach has changed slightly.
if you have been out here before for comparison the river is about 2 feet lower than last year, and 1 foot lower than 2018.
i will post a few pix later
-
It might be better if our Saturday run ends up at Long Point instead of Kinni if the north end is bad.
Kinni on Friday when it's not so busy along the channel?
-
I think we should stay to the plan... kinni is ok... there is a lot of trees but they are easy to get around.. I also got a call from t.i. marina today and I got a 40’ slip. So with mine and the three that Shawn has there should be enough for anyone who wants a spot.
-
I think it's to late in the game to make changes ..
-
Don't forget your masks if you intend on going into any place of business in Wisconsin or Minnesota. I was hoping to have the 69' Glastron Carlson Corinthian present this year but ran out of time
See you all this weekend
-
You have to pay for camping and launch at RV park office ..

Just a Little Rant.......
For Starters I don't have a Classic Glastron Boat YET..... currently looking for & plan on having a CVX20 Jet one day.
Last year We ( Me & Family) drove to Kinnickinnic State Park to see the boats, I know that some groups can be a little clicky so we were a little nervous about approaching all the boats & boaters. But was happy that it didn't seem clicky & had a great time seeing all the boats & meeting a few people. We learned a few do's & dont's and had a good experience.
So today 8/15 we were excited to go see the boats & people again. I was watching the Fourm the last couple weeks to make sure the get together was still on & that Sat the group was still going to Kinnickinnic State Park. Well I guess the group did go to the Park but where the group got together was not accessible without a boat......!!!! Believe me we tried!
So after a 3hr drive to the park, walk to the beach & no Glastrons to be found , We were more than disappointed. The other bad part is we found where the group was but no way to get there without a boat!!!!! A 3hr ride back home was no fun ride either.
So hopfully next year I hope I will have a boat to be part of the group!! Or if not I can get to the group by foot!
Hope everyone had a great time & maybe we will be there next year!

You posted in the 2020 Roll Call thread that you'd be driving in and walking down from Kinni so folks knew you were coming hopefully? (We can only look for you if we know you're coming!) We make sure everyone gets a ride, but we have to know you're coming in order to do that. I didn't make it this year, but I can tell you, no one wants that to happen. Might have been a group decision to distance off away from the crowds...there's a couple cancer survivors in the group this year.
I can tell you that yes, the group generally tries to get to Kinni, but there are a number of factors out of our control that may force a last minute change of plans. (Heavy rains, debris, No Wake Zone order in effect, etc)
That's a bummer dude. Even if you don't have a boat next year, make sure you post that 'Hey, we're coming!' Message a couple admin's with your phone number, they'll likely respond in kind so this doesn't happen again...because no one wants that to happen!
-
Were sorry for the mix up, I think a few people even with the group couldn't find the beach we were at.
We are working at a solution for problem, so we won't have trouble at next years event.
-
When we arrived, some of the advance party was already coming back south, I believe due to many snags around the north side and the Kini river? I've never been to that side before, but it turned out ok, except for a bit of location confusion. A posting on cgoamn may have helped some folks? Might not have this issue again? I have a thought involving a low power FM signal that could provide announcements, but some folks may not have radios?
-
I wonder if there would be a way to create a text blast to cell phones. I know nothing about that technology but you would think something like that would be possible for us.
-
Were thinking along the line of a "Text blast" or something like that.
-
Honestly, having a Twitter account for everyone to monitor would be easiest way to get the word out. Everyone attending subscribes & turns alerts on, every post is delivered real-time.
-
Sorry you missed us, I would’ve been more than happy to pick you up somewhere if I had known.
Call me or text me, next time. Better yet, let’s find you a boat.
