Wisconsin whitewater - St. Croix River, Burnett County

Burnett county, Nelson's Landing to Snake River Confluence section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     8 miles
  The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Wisconsin are often more forgiving than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that lots of rivers here are good for beginners. This section of St. Croix River is 8 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section. The Nelson's Landing to Snake River Confluence section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. 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. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way around here you won't find a large number of other
rivers. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, it's perfect for a one day trip. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The scenic beauty of Wisconsin and the water flowing gracefully down St. Croix River will make you feel great.
