Wisconsin whitewater, Eau Claire River Eau Claire county, Channey Rd section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I-II     7.9 miles   When the water is up I have always enjoyed this paddle. Fished this area since the early 1960's with my Great Grandfathers and done well on the Smallies and occasional Muskie. This is a multi use area with everything from Canoeing/Kayaking to Field Trials for Pointing Dogs.  The Wi Cover Dog Ch and Brittany Ch's are held along the river. ALso numerous Geocaches. Says Birddogger Not worth the effort shallow keel destroying area. Drag     drag drag your boat harshly down the stream. It's an atv area like buzzards everywhere, have too listen too them. Everyday, no fish in the puddles, and they have a biolagoon. That is city waste pumped from miles away that spills and turns the water poison. Better off paddling where they welcome paddlers, stay out of Eau Claire county is my advice. Oh and i found out too late. One cannot camp along the rivers in Eau Claire county. NOW THAT'S AWEFULL in every sense, go further north , or out of state , terrible place that area is.

The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Wisconsin are often easier than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the rivers in this state are not very demanding.
