This section of Menominee River in Wisconsin is 0.2 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV section. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if
    you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Marinette, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road

This is an extremely short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well.
