Question 1

Where is the starting point and end point for Yakapalooza?

Accepted Answer

Starting: 3257 Wieckham St, Troy Mills, IA 52344

This address will take you to the Troy Mills Christian Church. You will see the ball diamond and a big grassy field across the road. That field is where we will be parking to load up kayaks into a trailer. After the kayaks are loaded, we will be taking only the number of vehicles needed to transport people up to the North Troy Access. The rest of the vehicles will stay parked in that field for the duration of the float.

Ending: We will be ending the float at G's place, right where we parked our vehicles. People will be around at the end of the float to guide you where to unload.

Question 2

What time do I need to be there?

Accepted Answer

Plan on arriving at the ball diamond at 10 am to load your kayaks into the trailer. Our plan is to have the kayaks loaded by 10:45 am, so we can head to the North Troy Access and be on the water by 11:30am. People may start showing up before 10am, so you may come earlier if you'd like, just don't be late if you'd like to load your kayak into the transport trailer.

If you do not make it in time to load into the trailer, you will have to transport your kayaks to the access yourself.

North Troy Access: 3251-3 Stewart Ave., Troy Mills, IA 52344

Question 3

What if I don't have a kayak?

Accepted Answer

Many people attending have spare kayaks! Reach out to Cameron on Facebook or Snapchat, and he can help you locate one. First come first served!

Important: If you are borrowing a kayak, please be considerate enough to reach out to the individual you are borrowing from to see if they need help loading/unloading kayaks before and after the event.
