Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling rivers. Great exercise and just hanging
    out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. This is one of a small number of paddling sections in this river system, there are a few others too. This stretch is short so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. Whitewater rafting and kayaking
in Wisconsin is often easier than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that lots of rivers here are good for beginners.
