I'm down in Florida now retired, and I send love to my nation. Cliff Kakintosh was my dad! He died 10 or 15 years back. I was wanting to know how tall is the cliff on our River to Wolf River where we jump off, but we're NOT supposed to. I've been trying to tell my friends because I've jumped off at a thousand times, and I'm sure many of you have also! I'm not condoning it or telling people to do it, but I would love to know how tall that
    is and what the height of that jump is. Can anybody tell me please? Thank you you can reach me at m i c t h e m a c k at gmail.com Says Mike Mills ( KAQUATOSH)

I went rafting there two days ago and I had SO much fun!
One rapid, called lower Dells, has cliffs on both sides and we jumped of them. If you jump make sure to jump far out (I hit my knee on a rock) and face toward the light green trees when you are jumping from the right side (when you are facing the rapids) Also, it is fun to swim Dave's Wave which is the second half of the lower Duck's Nest. Make sure to go down Big Smokey! And then pull your raft to the side of the river and go under the waterfall!!  
So much fun! The only bad thing was the water level was low... so we got pretty scraped up on the rocks.

We are planning a trip for 8/4/7 Are we dragging the rafts? I really need an honest answer from someone who hasd been there lately...email-redson@madison.k12.wi.us Says Ruth Edson

I just recently went down the otter slide with my wife and some friends. We had a blast, the water was kind of cold in the begining but you get use to it quick. My favorite part is near the end of the trip you go threw a stretch that has huge rock walls on each side with pretty good rapids then it opens to a big swimming hole. There are rock walls on one side it looks very tempting to jump off of the walls wich if I had to guess go up about 40 feet. But let me be the first to tell you dont jump I did and broke my ankle. Me and my buddy jumped side by side at the same time he is fine Im not I hit rocks under the water. So dont be stupid like me and jump kinda wrecks the last fall witch is by far the best one.
