Wisconsin whitewater - Turtle Creek, Rock County Rock county, 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 The starting location is a short drive from Janesville, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The nature scenery of Rock County and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Turtle Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Shopiere stretch is the only one.
