Timothy Johnson's Founders Float is a Canoe and Kayak Event on the beautiful Rock River in Jefferson County. Traveling south from Watertown to Johnson Creek along the Rock River is the original route, famously paddled by Timothy Johnson, founder of Johnson Creek, in 1837. Paddlers taking this route experience what it would have been like traveling along what was the highway of the day. Proceeds from the 2020 Founders Float will contribute to ongoing projects at the Johnson Creek Historical Society Museum.
