Wisconsin whitewater, Yellow River Wood county, Little Bull Falls section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-III     6.4 miles   The only good times to paddle the yellow river is when there has been a lot of rain or early spring.  The river is very rocky and descends a lot so when the water is low you will be pushing your boat across lots of rocks.  It is a very fun river in high water but you have to get out when there is water or else you may not be able to go. Says Chris Nikolai Some friends and I went Kayaking on the Yellow River on April 19th, 08 and were     suprised at the stage of rapids that we paddled. The water is fast, deep and unforgiving. Be careful!!! Make sure you wear helmets, take tow ropes and be prepared to get wet!!! Says Tammy The Little Bull Falls stretch of Yellow River in Wisconsin is 6.4 miles long and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Wisconsin you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. The starting location is a short drive from Wisconsin Rapids-Marshfield, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road   map further down the page. On this section you do get some distance, you can easily run it on an afternoon. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. There are some good sections to paddle in this river system, the Little Bull Falls section is one of them. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. The natural beauty of Wood County and the water flowing gracefully down Yellow River are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling spots. 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.
