Wisconsin River near Spring Green. I was so fascinated by the train that we almost hit the bridge pier :-O

What are some of your favorite early spring paddles? Looking for south central Wisconsin specifically. But post for any area to get the conversation going. For reference I paddle an old 17ft aluminum Grumman.

Hello!

I am looking for anyone who has surfed in the great lakes in Wisconsin and is willing to share knowledge / meet up (socially distant style, ya know) to surf? This is my first time chasing waves in the midwest, and I would be endlessly grateful for any knowledge. Difficult to find stuff online.

Many many thanks,

Zoe

I need to get away from Illinois and the people for a few days. I have time off this Wednesday till Sunday. Im looking for a small lodge to rent, kayak rentals in the area, as well as hiking. The lodge just need a comfy bed to sleep one, a stove, ac, and a shitter. I'm in northern Illinois and willing to travel. If anyone has recommendations I'd really appreciate it.

Probably a repost, but I thought this might be useful to add to "Resources" for this subreddit (https://www.wisconsinrivertrips.com/). It includes lots of water trails, mostly in southern WI, with ratings, notes about rapids and trip planning, and lots of pictures.

My wife and I recently purchased paddle boards and wondered about parsing this information from that standpoint. My main concern is that river depth and rapids could be problematic for SUP fins. Does anyone have specific advice on what to look out for or SUPing WI in general?

I have a 2010 Toyota camry. And looking for a good way to transport my SUP board around. Any suggestions on racks to use?

(Sorry I know this is in the UP)

I like to do crazy stuff on a 12'6" touring paddleboard. My friend and I did the South Branch of the Ontonogan from Ewen to Lake Superior (50+ miles over four days)...the next logical thing to do is the Sturgen. I have scouted out most of the sketchy spots but would like to talk to someone who as done it/ knows the river well

From kayaking to fly fishing, wakeboarding, SUPing and canoeing — you can just about find a liquified hole anywhere within a 50-mile radius in Florida, along with a post-up spot to enhance your weekend splendor. It is certainly a watersport enthusiast’s playground — amongst scenic, tropical terrain and/or rugged, overgrown flora fauna. Let’s look at the best kayak fishing spot.

At first there was a PVC gate that was easy to pass through but the calfs were getting loose. Then I heard there was barbed wire and you had to portage. Any updates?

I’m moving to central WI (near Wausau) from UT. Are there any pvernight rafting trips to be had in WI or surrounding states? I have a 14’ RMR whitewater raft with all the bells and whistles for a multi-week rafting trip. In UT there are tons of overnight trips. I love my boat and each piece of gear and don’t want to get rid of it or put it in storage. Trying to justify bringing it to WI when I move. I’m not looking for any crazy rapids specifically, but are there any river sections around that would scratch my overnight rafting itch and help justify bringing my boat?

FYI I am a avid kayaker, so planning to bring my kayaks to take advantage of the Wausau whitewater Playpark.

Specifically on the very bottom of the Black River. I want to take out near Fred Funk Landing (at a friend's house)

Lytle's Landing to there seems too short, so I'm thinking put in at rt 35. Could anyone give me a time estimate? I'm assuming the river is moving pretty fast right now with how high everything is but I haven't been up to see.

I'm looking for a half day trip.

Also to anyone that has paddled it - is there any potential for getting lost between Lytles and Funk - looks like a lot of backwater channels.

Thanks so much!

Just a notice to stay safe.

The DNR has recently posted the public ballot that will be used at the April 9th WCC hearings. I strongly encourage paddlers to attend and to vote. It is just like voting for politicians…except you vote on conservation issues. You simply show up at your designated meeting area, fill in the questions you care about, and turn in your ballot. If you wish, you can stick around to listen to the speakers or even submit your own proposals. There are two particular ballot issues that I feel are noteworthy for paddlers.

Question #42 advocates a penalty for plowing within 5 feet of a channel. I suggest voting for this. River and creek buffer zones play an incredibly important role in reducing topsoil erosion. They also are instrumental in preventing watershed contamination from manure, fertilizers and pesticides. Creek corridors and their adjacent banksides are extremely rich sources of biodiversity and we should work to protect them.

Questions #49-52 advocates that all non-motorized watercraft be registered. I suggest voting against this. Adding fees and bureaucracy to paddling will decrease the number of people who enjoy our lakes and rivers, while discouraging new paddlers from taking up the sport. Participants in low-impact outdoor activities are more likely to care for and want to protect our environment and resources. Plus some of us own multiple kayaks :(

I'm looking for an interesting lake to paddle on within an hour or so of Oshkosh. I'm a beginner, so I don't really know yet where to go and I need something easy. I've done a couple rivers so far, but I'd like to try a scenic lake that maybe has some interesting features (islands, inlets, etc). Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I've never paddled the Crystal River in the fall and I'm wondering how the water levels are. I'll be starting at Knight lake so I'll need to pass the channel before Beasley Lake too. Is there any way to find out? Thanks.

Hi, can someone recommend a good overnight canoe camping spot driving distance from Chicago? Four to five hours drive is fine. I'm particularly interested in camping lakeside versus a river and one that's off the beaten track (e.g. few people/partiers). Just a solo getaway. Have searched on the Interweb and surprisingly came up empty.... Thank you for your thoughts and suggestions...

Just moved to Racine area and looking for a paddling partner. I want to do the section between Puetz Road in Franklin and paddle all the way to Racine Harbor. This is a trip that is over 20 miles. Let me know if your interested.

Does anyone here donate time or money to local causes? "Friends of" groups, legislative groups, etc? We'd love to hear what causes you're supporting - always willing to help out ourselves! Thanks!

Took a page from Miles Paddled and did the Honey Creek today. If you want to do it, this weekend is the time because the water is up substantially from the recent rains.

It's peppy and pretty much clear from obstruction from Bell School Road to Cty D (we didn't go all the way to DD). The "old farm bridge" in the MP trip report photos was a nose scraper; meaning we had to lean as far back as possible and push on the metal girders to get our boats lower in the water and under the bridge. Good times!

Recently just bought a kayak to use in the Milwaukee area and would like suggestions on where to go! I've done downtown Milwaukee River before, but I'm looking for more of a lake scene if possible, as I'm used to kayaking around the Chippewa Flowage. Looking for areas have paths that can las at least 2 hours and if possible not a long portage distance since I'll be carrying the kayak myself from my car. Thank you!!
