Site Description Table
Getting ready to schedule a field kit check out? Be sure to check the Site Description Table, linked below, to select the site that you would like to test. If you don’t see a site that is convenient for you listed on the table, or if you have a specific spot that you would like to test, simply send an email with your preferred site location to riveractionleague@bradley.edu. The email should include clear directions to the stream that you are interested in and a description of the exact spot where testing will occur. River Action League staff will visit the site, make sure that it meets all of our safety requirements and let you know if it can be listed on the Site Description Table as a certified RAL site.
