Wisconsin whitewater - St. Croix River, Douglas/Burnett County

Douglas/Burnett county, Gordon Dam to St. Croix Tr. section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     15.8 miles
  The Gordon Dam to St. Croix Tr. section of St. Croix River in Wisconsin is 15.8 miles long and it is classified as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often easier than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are less demanding. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure
    to keep you coming back for more. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so pack your camp stove. 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. The natural beauty of Douglas/Burnett County and the cool fresh water beats anything. There are no other stretches to paddle along St. Croix River than the Gordon Dam to St. Croix Tr. stretch.
