Whitewater on Foot

Veteran canoeist and explorer John Roberts leads this journey by boat and on foot to some of the best watery eye candy in Wisconsin, the Pine River rapids and LaSalle Falls, at a time when the Northwood's fall colors will just begin to emerge.

First well learn about the future fate of an old hydro dam on the river, and the gorge that it flooded. Then well paddle upstream in the flowage (very easy current) to a point where well do whitewater on foot by hiking alongside several rapids and falls and eventually to the roaring LaSalle Falls.

John will also demonstrate using a pole for propelling a canoe, and he may just offer a ride down through the rapids (NOT the falls!) to a willing rider.

Very modest paddling experience is required for this trip, but you should be prepared for a short but vigorous hike along the rapids and falls.
