River Description

Pleasant canoe/beginner-kayak trip; Fairly continuous rock-garden rapids for about 1.25 miles, followed by a mile of dead-flat paddle-out on a backwater bay of a flowage (reservoir) on the Wisconsin River.

This is likely to be done as a 'companion' run along with other short runs in the area, such as the New Wood, Pine Dells, Prairie Dells, Trappe, and so on.
