River Description
Quick Facts:
Location: (north limits of) City of Waukesha.
Shuttle Length: 1.4 miles. (See details in "Directions" Tab.)
Character: Mostly rural-feel float stream, with a few riffles and sharp turns to maneuver.
Put-in is approximately 832' elevation.
Take-out is approximately 815' elevation.
Thus total elevation change is approximately 17'.
General Overview
A minor stream, with some small waves and potentially technical maneuvering to negotiate. In
years past, this has been used by the local paddling club as a 'first moving water' experience
for students (new boaters). A (generally flatwater) race is held each spring, starting further
upstream in Pewaukee.
This may be paired with (or either may be 'substituted for' the other) the listed run on the
Fox
River in Waukesha, which has it's put-in about 2.25 miles downstream of the listed take-out
for this reach.
