River Description
Much of this reach is paralleled closely by Benson Lake Rd and the put-in is roadside. Headed east
on Benson Lake from Goodman Park Rd (Marinette), it's about two to three miles to the best options
for a put-in. The run can be lengthened by an additional 3.4 miles if you start at Goodman Park Rd
(Forest) but the additional distance is all flatwater.
Please note that there are two different Goodman Park roads, thus the county name in parentheses.
When Benson Lake Rd crosses into Forest County, it becomes Goodman Park Rd (running E-W). Goodman
Park Rd in Marinette County is a N-S road.
