This section of Trappe River in Wisconsin is 5.1 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II(III) section. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so keep in mind that a lot of the rivers in this state are suitable for beginners. On this section you do get some distance, good for a one day paddling trip. The to Rocky Ridge |
Road section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. The beautiful scenery of Wisconsin and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river,
| but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here.
