Description

Some maps show this location as being the Oswego Police Department. However, more recent information (and Google Streetview) indicates it is now the Oswego Senior and Community Center. Additionally, a stub of the Waubonsie Trail starts/ends in the parking lot here, suggesting public parking is likely permissible here.

As soon as you pass under Hwy.34 (AKA Walter Payton Memorial Highway), you will be in the Fox Bend Golf Course, operated by the Oswego Park District. Within this course lie a couple areas of swifts (and at least one good drop), as well as seven golf cart bridges.

Do the golf cart bridges allow passage at various boatable flows? Do the rapids become playable features or wicked reversals at some flows? Are there any other impediments to passage (such as irrigation pipes, fences, or deadfall)? How aggressive are golfers and/or personnel from the course regarding boater presence on the water? (Obviously you would almost certainly be challenged if you were out of your boat anywhere within the golf course.)

(If you have boated the section through the golf course, help your fellow boaters with a Trip Report listing gauge reading, whether all bridges have clearance, and the difficulty or fun-factor of the drop(s) through there.)
