Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good places. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an
overnighter, so pack your sleeping bag. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Wisconsin are easier than the national norm, so keep in mind that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. This river system is full of great
