River Description

This is a beautiful stretch, starting with a low Class II rapid, followed by flatwater and Class I rapids. There are a few private cottages, but most of the adjacent property is owned by the state DNR. Roadside access is easy and convenient, with gravel parking areas at the County Highway A put-in and the Highway 52 take-out.

Wendigo Rapid is located at the put-in on County Highway A. About 1/4 mile long, this is a boulder garden rapid, and can be frustrating at lower water levels. Following Wendigo is a 6-mile quietwater stretch inhabited by eagles, heron, otter, deer, mink and beaver. Wildlife is abundant as the stretch is not heavily traveled.
Just before Military Park (an alternate take-out at the 7 mile mark), you'll find a series of Class I rapids and moving water. The river narrows and passes through a cedar grove.
Past Military Park are more Class I rapids (called Overton Rapids), continuing for about one mile.
The take-out is at Lily Bridge, on Hwy 52.
