Please note: Boats cannot schedule a time to enter the lock, so our Captain relies on his knowledge and experience to time our return. Circumstances may cause us to return to dock a little late. We'll travel to the vicinity of Cassville, WI. If the lock is unavailable, we'll head to Bellevue, IA instead, without locking through.
