Gauge Information

Name Range Difficulty Updated Level
BRULE RIVER AT US HIGHWAY 2 NEAR FLORENCE, WI
usgs-04060993 250 - 2500 cfs I-II 64d14h18m 1240 cfs (rc= 0.6 )
Likely moderate flows.Uncertain about best levels. If you have info, help us out with a comment or report. Gauge (366 sq.mi. drainage) is well downstream, but no large tribs intervene, so it should be fairly representative of flows in this reach.


River Description

Longer (mostly flatwater) trips available. Alternative access points may allow shortening this trip as well. It appears (via maps) the trip may be 'halved', and the lower portion may be almost 'halved' as well. (Convenience of access unknown, nor is the specific location of rapids, therefore unknown what accesses to use for 'best' whitewater on shortest reach.)

Using Google satellite views to 'walk' down the river, the only visible apparent rapids occur at this location. (This is not to say other whitewater in the form of individual ledges may not exist, only that they are not generally apparent from satellite views.)
