The Cayuga to Foster Junction railroad bridge section of Bad River in Ashland County is 7.1 miles long and has been rated as a class II-III(IV) section by American Whitewater. The beautiful scenery of Ashland County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. The sections
for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Wisconsin are often more forgiving than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less demanding. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. On
this section you do get some distance, suitable for an afternoon trip. The river winds through the Gogebic Range and you get great scenery. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of spots for that. The Cayuga to Foster Junction railroad bridge stretch is one of many paddling stretches in this river system.
