There are constant improvement projects happening at SRYC!
Fall Projects at SRYC
Ah… Summertime!
Man, it’s been a strange year, but the boating continues. With the pandemic and lockdown, the lock closures, the occasional flood, and heat waves, we’ve been through a lot.
SRYC members soldier on! There have been plenty of great boating days, and plenty more to come. The bar was able to reopen in late June, and we’ve welcomed quite a few new members to our extended family.
Many members have stepped up to help keep the grounds, harbor, and clubhouse in tip-top shape, and to make SRYC a family-friendly, welcoming place. The river views are beautiful, the beer is cold, and we have room for a few more members!

SRYC is the prettiest spot on the river, at a fraction of the cost of commercial marinas. Like being on vacation every time you visit!
May Brings High Water … Again
When northern Illinois received nearly 8 inches of rain in four days, guess where all the water went? The Illinois river crested on Tuesday, May 19, within a foot of the all-time high water mark, as recorded on the Ottawa gauge. The river rose swiftly, to about 13 feet above its normal level.
