    you came. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. This section of Big Rib River in Wisconsin is 2.45 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II section. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a pretty
small number of paddling spots. The Highway 64 to Greiner Road stretch is the only paddling stretch along Big Rib River. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
