Langlade county, Hollister Road to Langlade section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     8 miles
  This section of Wolf River in Wisconsin is 8 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section. The natural beauty of Langlade County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water beats anything. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Wisconsin you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so better not forget that lots of rivers here are good for beginners. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the
    river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. There are plenty of other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of spots for that.
On this section you do get some distance, it's good length for a morning trip. The campgrounds here at Wolf River are pretty good.
