Wisconsin whitewater - Cedar Creek, Ozaukee County

Ozaukee county, Cedarburg City Park section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     2.3 miles
  The natural beauty of Wisconsin and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so keep in mind that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. The put-in location is a short drive from Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, but you'd better reserve in advance
    because these hotels fill up quick. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here. This is the only paddling section along Cedar Creek. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good
places. This is a pretty short section so better bring some good walking shoes. The Cedarburg City Park section of Cedar Creek in Ozaukee County is 2.3 miles long and has been rated as a class II-III section by American Whitewater. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
