“I purchased both your northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin DVDs and they are excellent…… the DVDs have provided me with good information on other rivers and creeks that I had not yet explored.  I especially like the shuttle explanations and maps……the videos are great and they far exceed descriptions found in books as to usefulness”.

 

“Hello, I purchased your next river DVD (Illinois Rivers) & I think you are doing great job!  The map info before each segment is great”!

 

“Hi Mark and Merri,

Just wanted to let you know I received the 2-DVD set of River Trails

of Northern Illinois.  I just had to write you to say how well done they

are.  I especially loved the maps you offer along with a detailed oral

description of the route to take out.  I am sure I will watch them over

and over.  They truly are a treasure...so well done”.

New release, available now!

Join Morrall River Films as they paddle 28 day trips on 25 of the finest rivers and creeks that Northern Illinois
 has to offer.
Illinois often brings to mind flat, endless fields of corn, this video will show you another side of the
state. From the seat of your canoe or kayak you’ll witness deeply cut river valleys with towering cliffs, welcoming
sandbars, and wetlands rich with wildlife.

Mark and Merri have created this two hour, two disc, video guide book in order to give its viewers a better idea
of what they can expect while paddling these streams. Some of the rivers shown are slow and peaceful, while
others are fast moving with a fun, challenging current.

This guide includes; Shuttle directions with maps to follow, a comprehensive description of acceptable water
levels along with where to find the current gauge data on the internet,
and an overview of existing hazards and
rapids. Most importantly, by watching the individual river vignettes you’ll be able to judge for yourself if you are
up to whatever challenges the river may present, and in turn, can paddle it safely.

Streams featured on the DVD include:

Big Bureau Creek               Big Rock Creek                Des Plaines River
Carroll Creek                       Elkhorn Creek                 Fox River
Galena River                       Hennipin Canal              Kankakee River

River Trails of Southern Wisconsin
 Click HERE to purchase a copy. 

Join Morrall River Films as they paddle 30 day trips on 26 rivers, all located in the beautiful geologically
diverse region of Southern Wisconsin. Here you'll find a wide range of topography and scenery, from the
rivers to the west that have carved their path through tall rocky bluffs to the ones in the southeast coursing
their way through the abundant lakes, ponds, and wildlife rich wetlands.
They created this two hour, two disc DVD guide book as a more substantial method for getting a feel for
paddling these streams. You can read a book or view maps but that won't give you a proper perspective on
what the river is really like. This DVD will broaden the scope. Use it as a tool to match your own paddling
experience and skill level to your trip desires.
Each one of the 30 short river films on the discs range from 3 1/2, to 4 1/2 minutes in length. The trips themselves
range from 7 to 12 miles in length, or between 3 and 6 hours of slow, enjoyable paddling. Information featured in
this guide include: shuttle driving directions, locations of access points, safe water levels, and hazards such as
dams, rapids, and log jams.
