Wisconsin whitewater, Turtle Creek Rock county, Shopiere section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I     4.7 miles   The dam at Shopiere is no more, it was removed quite some time ago. I'm not sure just when, but it's benn at least a couple of years ago Says Don B We discovered on a trip to the fox but found the fox running too fast to enjoy. Thank you for the info. I am an amputee, so info on put in and take out has been greatly appreciated. Says Vincent Hack Very fun!  Great trip for 2-3 friends.  We set in at the dam at Sweet-Allyn Memorial     Park, and traveled upstream with ease to the arched railroad bridge (E Cty Rd. J). Says Danial I live on Turtle Creek and my husband and I are planning a overnight canoe trip for next weekend. Should be a blast with all this rain! Says Adrianne The nature scenery of Wisconsin and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Janesville, as you can see on the road map further down. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Wisconsin are easier than the national norm, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the rivers in this state are not very demanding. This river system has a few good paddling   sections and the Shopiere section is one of them. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you won't find a large number of other places. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This section of Turtle Creek is 4.7 miles long and has been rated as a class I section by American Whitewater. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people.
