  The scenic beauty of Wisconsin and the water flowing gracefully down Montreal River are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This stretch of Montreal River is 3.1 miles long and has been rated as a class II-III section by American Whitewater. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a large number of paddling spots. This is a bit of a short stretch so no need to bring snacks.

    below Saxon Falls to Highway 122 stretch is one of many paddling stretches in this river system. The average Wisconsin whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so don't forget that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere.
