Florence county, Twin River Road to Morgan Lake Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     10.2 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Wisconsin tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. This stretch of Popple River in Florence County is 10.2 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so pack your camp stove. If you're a camper you can camp at one
    of the great campgrounds nearby. The nature scenery of Wisconsin and the water flowing gracefully down Popple River attract people from near and far. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good spots for that around here. The nearby
hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. There are some good sections to paddle in this river system, the Twin River Road to Morgan Lake Road section is one of them.
