Paddling
Paddling the Milwaukee River
It is not the Namekagon River, which joins the St. Croix as part of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. Nor is it anything like the many moods of the Flambeau or any its branches. Both rivers offer a variety of paddling experiences, plus wilderness campsites on their shores. Certainly, it is not the Wolf or Peshtigo with their whitewater challenges. But the Milwaukee River in southeastern Wisconsin is a great waterway to lose yourself on any given day from April through October.
Betsie Bay Kayak
Betsie Bay Kayak. The name may be unfamiliar. If you've been to a gathering of kayakers like the Ladies of the Lake, the Great Lakes or Inland Sea Symposiums, Betsie Bay Kayaks are often paddled by the symposium instructors.
