county,
Gordon Dam to St. Croix Tr. section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-II 15.8 miles
The average Wisconsin whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so better not forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. This section of St. Croix River in Wisconsin is 15.8 miles long and is a class I-II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. St. Croix River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Gordon Dam to St. Croix Tr. stretch is the only one. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better
reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The nature scenery of Wisconsin and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are not so many other
good places for that around here. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more.
