Water Trails

Rock River
Beloit is located at the half-way point of the 320 mile Rock River Trail, a national water trail. Due to a large dam in Beloit, you have two paddling options available on the Rock River: Launch north of Beloit and paddle down to take out before the dam, or launch at the John Rose Kayak and Canoe Launch and head downriver into Illinois.

Rock River Launches
Wootton Park – 1451 Fourth Street
John Rose Canoe/Kayak Launch – 534 Fourth Street (Chester Square Public Parking Lot) 

Turtle Creek
Turtle Creek is a beautiful waterway lined with woods that winds its way through 7 miles of Beloit. It’s a fun creek to kayak, canoe or tube on. Launch kayaks just north of Beloit.
