Highway 2 to Erickson Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-IV(V) 3.2 miles
The wonderful Iron County scenery and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The Highway 2 to Erickson Road stretch of Montreal River is 3.2 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-IV(V) section. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of spots for that. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Wisconsin tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so don't forget that lots of rivers here are good for beginners. This river system is full of great paddling
sections, the Highway 2 to Erickson Road section is just one of them. The Gogebic Range scenery is wonderful. No need to look hard for hotels, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Getting
some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over.
