Wisconsin whitewater, Baird Creek

Brown county, Moon Valley Drive section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II+     0.6 miles
 
I am the past president of the Baird Creek Preservation Foundation and I am also an experienced paddler. I comfortably do Class 4 water and I have done some Class 5. I am not sure if I would recommend that section of Baird Creek for anyone. There is only enough water during extreme flood situations. Most years there is no single flood event that would bring Baird Creek up to paddleable levels. There are a tremendous number of logs and entire
    trees across the creek. During flood situations the potential to get pinned against or under deadfalls would be very high. Says Charles Frisk

The wonderful Brown County scenery and the beautiful way the water current
moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less demanding. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with not too many other rivers  
for that. If you're coming from Green Bay it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, as you can see on the road map further down. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. There are many good hotels to choose from, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The Moon Valley Drive section of Baird Creek in Wisconsin is 0.6 miles long and is a class II+ section of whitewater according to American Whitewater.

Briefly about the general area:
Baird Creek is right next door to Heritage Hill State Park which is a beautiful place, and during your visit here you'll meet some folks from New Franken for sure.
