Gilmores mistake, burnt shanty, shotgun eddy,pissmire falls, take out on left 500 yards. Says John Secher

The wonderful Wisconsin scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The average Wisconsin whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that many runs in this state are very easy. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the Gilmore's Mistake
    to Otter Slide stretch is just one of them. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling rivers. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. This is a pretty
decent length section, it's good length for a morning trip. The Gilmore's Mistake to Otter Slide stretch of Wolf River in Wisconsin is 5.9 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II(III) section.
