The beautiful scenery of Marinette / Menominee County and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle.

    right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Wisconsin is often easier than elsewhere,
so don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.

Falls section is one of them. This stretch of Menominee River is 0.2 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class IV section.
