CLASS I-II(III)     4 miles
  If you're coming from Merrill it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, as you can see on the road map further down. The nature scenery of Lincoln County and the water flowing gracefully down Wisconsin River will make you feel great. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Wisconsin are easier than the national norm, so better not forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. On this section you do get some distance, suitable for an afternoon trip. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the Camp 10 to Menard
    Isle section is just one of many. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good rivers for that around here. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if
you make reservations in advance you're all set. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. This section of Wisconsin River in Lincoln County is 4 miles long and has been rated as a class I-II(III) section by American Whitewater.
