Moon Valley Drive section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II+ 0.6 miles
I am the past president of the Baird Creek Preservation Foundation and I am also an experienced paddler. I comfortably do Class 4 water and I have done some Class 5. I am not sure if I would recommend that section of Baird Creek for anyone. There is only enough water during extreme flood situations. Most years there is no single flood event that would bring Baird Creek up to paddleable levels. There are a tremendous number of logs and entire trees across the creek. During flood situations the potential to get pinned against or under deadfalls would
be very high. Says Charles Frisk
The nature scenery of Brown County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. The average Wisconsin whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so
if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. This section of Baird Creek is 0.6 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II+ section. There are nice comfortable hotels here, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Baird Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Moon Valley Drive section is the only one. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Green Bay, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that.
This section is very short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. The campgrounds here at Baird Creek are pretty good. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here.
