If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your camping stuff too. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. The Blaisdell
    Lake to Winter Dam section is one of many paddling sections in this river system. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The Blaisdell Lake to Winter Dam stretch of Chippewa
River - East Fork in Sawyer County is 10.4 miles long and it is classified as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. 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.
