Eau Claire county, Downtown EauClaire section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II     0.5 miles
  This section of Chippewa River in Eau Claire County is 0.5 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II section of whitewater. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Wisconsin is often easier than elsewhere, so better not forget that rivers here are less demanding. The nature scenery of Wisconsin and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. The Downtown EauClaire section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming
    back for more. There are many good hotels to choose from, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This is a very short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking
there are not so many other good places for that around here. The put-in is not too far from Eau Claire, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
