Shopiere section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I 4.7 miles
I live on Turtle Creek and my husband and I are planning a overnight canoe trip for next weekend. Should be a blast with all this rain! Says Adrianne
Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Wisconsin are easier than the national norm, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many runs in this state are very easy. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Janesville, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. This stretch of Turtle Creek is 4.7 miles long and is according to American Whitewater
a class I section of whitewater. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The Shopiere stretch is the only paddling stretch along Turtle Creek. The natural
beauty of Wisconsin and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle.
