The Niagara to Highway 8 section of Menominee River in Wisconsin is 2.9 miles long and it is classified as a class II-IV section by American Whitewater. The beautiful scenery of Marinette County
    and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. This is a short paddling stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the Niagara to Highway 8
section is one of them. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
