Oh, hmm, apparently they don’t want people linking to it. Here’s the picture in another place, but I suppose you’ll just have to take my word that they played baseball on the same day the picture was taken: http://i.imgur.com/A2csyl.jpg
That’s amazing. Looks dangerous, though no doubt there was no actual danger.
Funny a wrong Chicago venue was mentioned and corrected, but the correct one wasn’t offered - Wrigley Field. You can put an at any beach or harbor north or south on Lake Michigan, however long you want your trip to be, and pull out at Belmont Harbor. It’s a 10 minute walk from there.
Principal Park in Des Moines,IA is right at the confluence of two rivers. I would suggest taking the Raccoon River route from Gray’s Lake to the west, rather than dieing on the dams in the Des Moines river, though.
Heck, if you pick the right year you can kayak through the park…principal park flood | Roger Riley | Flickr
Target Field (Minneapolis) is less than a mile walk from the Mississippi River and there’s actually a path between the two (Cedar Lake Trail). Not sure where a take-out point would be.
All depends on where you start this kayak trip.
Petco Park in San Diego is about 1/4 mile from the Bay. I am not sure that there is a good landing spot near there though. You could land at Embarcadero Marina Park south and scramble over the rocks and you will be closer than I usually park when I go to games there. Launch from the beach at skate park on Coronado for a nice paddel across the bay.
Comerica In Detroit would work if you were a really lazy kayaker :).
It’s maybe a mile/1.25 miles from the river to the Park. And there are people who commonly park within 50 yards of it when they go to the game.
It would just be a matter of paddling though, no actually kayaking.It is the gentlest river on earth. The drop is so gentle, on days with some wind the surface water flow can be upstream.
Wrigley Field? If you can kayak on Lake Michigan, you can dock at Belmont Harbor and then easily walk to Wrigley.
The barge traffic shouldn’t be an issue, since it’s only sporadic: It wouldn’t be too hard to get a copy of the schedules and plan around it.
Most of the old canal is now defunct, and it’s certainly not contiguous all the way to Akron. There are a few sections of it that are kept up for historical interest, but they’re not connected to anything.
The Reds’ farm team, the Blue Wahoos (formerly the Carolina Mudcats) played their first season this year in the new Pensacola Bayfront Stadium. Scroll halfway down this pageand you can see how the park is surrounded by Pensacola Bay on three sides. I haven’t explored the park behind the stadium, but you could probably find a place to secure your kayak without too much difficulty. This is a kayak-friendly area - lots of places to launch and things to see.
I’d discourage getting outfield tickets, summer is HOT here and having the sun in your face doesn’t help. There is good shade along the third base line after 5:00.

Climb the bank and cross the parking lot.
