The Indiana Division of the United States Canoe Association would like to thank Terry & Jan Streib and the Elkhart Truth Newspaper for organizing the 2001 Great Canoe Race.  This years race saw not only a strong Elkhart area turn out, but paddlers from all over the state of Indiana as well as Michigan & Iowa were also present.

The temperature was a chilly 55 degrees and it was a rainy overcast day.  The water level was good, high enough to take out any damaging rocks, but not too high to cause control problems.
