Wisconsin whitewater, Totogatic River

Washburn county, Totogatic Flowage to Colton Flowage section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     8.9 miles
 
Water levels must be high to do the Upper Totogatic. Otherwise you'll be dragging your canoe over rocks. But it's very wild and remote. There are also old copper mines along the river if you know where to look. Also beware that the area was sacred to the spirit Wanabuju! http://www.atthecreation.com/TOGATIG/TOGA.html Says Toga

The Totogatic Flowage to Colton Flowage section of Totogatic River is 8.9 miles long and it is classified
    as a class II-III section by American Whitewater. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often easier than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less demanding.
The campgrounds here at Totogatic River are pretty good. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. The natural beauty of Wisconsin and the cool fresh water beats anything. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some  
time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, it's perfect for a one day trip.
