CLASS I-II     10.2 miles
  The Twin River Road to Morgan Lake Road 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. The wonderful Wisconsin scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Wisconsin you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so you'd better keep in mind that many runs in this state are very easy. There are some good sections to paddle in this river system,
    the Twin River Road to Morgan Lake Road section is one of them. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This section has enough mileage for an overnight
trip, so go ahead and pack your camping stuff. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
