WisconsinRiverTrips.com is a paddle review blog that focuses largely on Wisconsin. Each review typically contains maps, access information, depth information, hazards, pictures and a star rating indicating if the trail was worthwhile or not. Most of the reviews typically contain a video which is posted here and contains a link back to the corresponding review in the description.
Note, not all videos are top notch quality (especially the older ones). My main focus and energy instead go into the website and pictures, as I don't have the time to do professional level videos. But between the camera shakes, poor editing, and lack of narration...you often should be able to get a feel for a river or creek that you otherwise couldn't from a written review.
If you need to contact me you can do so at www.wisconsinrivertrips.com/contactus.html
Hope you enjoy the videos!

such pretty flowers!
Would need to let some water go from the dam to make those rapids 3s and 4s.
After the wastewater plant the water looked more cloudy. 😢
Odd "coincidence"...
Looks like a nice relaxing paddle.
I had to 'jump'to this video as soon as I saw it. I crossed that once last year on the way from Hayward to Tomahawk I think. Apparently it looks pretty shallow? I was wondering about fishing it for bass or possibly Pike? What would you say in most resembles the Yellow the Nak the Little Wolf the Black or the Eau Claire River in Marathon County?
If you spend more time looking for videos on this river, you'll find out. I know there's a good bit of white water, but it's also good for smallies in places, with a few musky and pike. Probably more like a smaller version of the flambeau than the black or Eau Clair.
Depth was fine during this trip, but at times it can be shallow. As for fish, I didn't see many, but that doesn't mean there were any... As for comparison, it's not as narrow as the Little Wolf or Eau Claire...it really reminded me of the Upper Black River. Very similar character.
@WisconsinRiverTrips I Like your videos. I'm also a fisherman, and usually, we don't like to see each other much on the water, but your videos help me understand waters that are far away from Madison where I live. I like to see no people at all, probably just like you, and I don't even care if I catch fish, I just like being in and around these waters. Thank you for sharing them.
@@Mike-lt6sj If you like seclusion, the Jump is a great river. I hardly saw anybody on it, until I approved the village of Jump River.
Was that whole stretch of river in Crawford County And did you see any body fly fishing in that stretch and did you see any waterfalls at all
This is just a small slice of the Kickapoo. No fly fishermen that day...typically they prefer the West Fork of the Kickapoo. We didn't see any major waterfalls, but there were seeps and water raining down from the rock face.
@@WisconsinRiverTripsthat's kind of what I figured I've never bothered fly fishing that fork of the Kickapoo because of all the muddy log jams I love the West Fork though. I'm going to check into Billings Creek on hiking and trying to fish that thanks for the quick response as always
BEAUITFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Calm peaceful float. Stream looks clean and free of trash. Nice!
Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻
Wow, the bugs! Enjoy your videos.
Looks like it was a very nice relaxing float! Thank you for sharing it!
Looks like a great place to kayak! Definitely won't be crowded. I'll have to go one of these days.
Thank you. Nice no snags
@@WillieMakeit you already went then?
@@joanviolinable have not bu t would like to
@@WillieMakeit would be good to go in a group.
Thank you for this, very well shot, edited. Over all nicely done! Two questions. 1. What kayak are you using and would you suggest anything different than that kayak? 2. Have you ever kayaked the Milwaukee River near Kewaskum? thank you!
Sorry for the delay in responding...Google didn't notify me of our comment. The kayak I use is a Future Beach Kayak...they sadly don't make them anymore. As for the type...depends on the rivers you run. I wrote a tips/buying guide at: www.wisconsinrivertrips.com/tips-tricks.html As for the Milwaukee by Kewaskum, I have not...but it is on my todo list! Thanks for the feedback.
@@WisconsinRiverTrips Thank you for the reply!
Has anyone paddle this stretch recently??
I haven't...would be curious to know how it fared with all the floods and wind storms we had.
I'm in
Paddled from Martell to where you put in two weeks ago. I was too nervous to do the stretch you described. But would consider!!
@@WillieMakeit let’s go!?
@@joanviolinable How was the upper stretch?
Can you dock a 16 foot boat there and will it make it to ocontomawauk lake
I'm not sure about docking rules...you might contact Waukesha County for clarification. I think you can make it between Hwy 16 and Oconomowoc Lake on a big boat...but not O to Lake Fowler.
nice video. nice river. good flow and wide enough to not have blockages
Logjams were absolutely never an issue...this is a great little river. Look forward to returning in the future.
Thank you for this content! This was close to home and nice to see!
A couple friends and I did this stretch yesterday (5/18/24). 752 CFS (4.7 ft). It was pretty brutal. I would definitely plan this again at a much lower discharge.
Thanks for the warning. I"ll post a warning on my website to help others.
Looks like this video started at about Bluffton. There are several miles north of Bluffton that I know are paddle-able via canoe or flat bottom boat or kayak. Just wondering about the miles to the Minnesota border at ..well perhaps Grainger MN or even northward. Of course, this is variable depending upon the year. 2023 was a low water year, as were 2022 and 2021 and ???. 2024 looks wet so far (mid may 2024).
That's a good question. I'm very curious about those. I know the Root River branches close to the Iowa border are super cool, so I assume the Upper Iowa parts in MN are too...but am not sure. If you do this stretch, let me know how it turns out.
@@WisconsinRiverTrips More likely I will do the Yellow River again. Also Have done the Turkey River in Iowa from about Elkader to Garber (a very easy Float with plenty of Amish fishing in that area too). A few bluffs along the Turkey, but mostly a nice float. Finally a lot of the Wapsipinicon and Maquoketa Rivers.
Love the shifting clouds at 2:45. Thank you for all your river paddle videos, and write ups. I’m in my 40’s and have a family with endless tasks taking my time and seeing these is a very nice mental escape to simpler times when I did more exploring. We do some but more trail hikes or family bike rides. These stream explores are incredible!
The Volga us a nice run but very dependent on flow. My parents property backed up to this section, good in the spring or after big rains
Nice paddle. Looking forward to watching you guys this season! 🙂
love these little creeks. very intimate
Is this Minnesota Root River?
Just the North Branch. It was really nice!
@@WisconsinRiverTrips Is there trout in there?
I saw a lot of fish...wasn't sure what type they were though.
Enjoyed the trip, thanks!
I love that you guys are actively seeking adventures... This goes to show you that you can find adventures in your own back yard!

At 4:50 in this vid, the steel bridge, was erected by myself and all the other teenage campers and staff at WCYC (Fall Hall Glen), Christian Camp during mid-summer of 1972 while at camp. What an undertaking! Just clearing the brush and cutting down some large trees was a huge task! The cabin ,upstream from the bridge in this vid, was called Birds Nest, the cabin I was in with a group of the other male campers. All the cabins had names. The most beautiful spot on earth, and the most magical place of my teenage years.
The bridge, camp, and creek are gorgeous! It's too bad that logjams have filled in the creek upstream from the camp. Hopefully those get cleared out in the future.
sweeet!
Yahara River at Hwy 19 is nice too
Logjam situation by Hwy 19 is tough though!
lol Yep. definitely needs cutting. Im gonna do some notching pretty soon. after that first 2-300 yard stretch its pretty nice. token creek about the same way @@WisconsinRiverTrips
great float. do you have a Token Creek float video? I need to get into token creek at the tracks and do some chainsaw clearing
I do have a Token Creek video...great water trail. ruclips.net/video/zJldUhQXNTo/видео.html Sadly because the Elma and Edna park closed for kayaking, the best leg is no longer accessible. There was talk about clearing the logjams below C as a bypass...that would be really cool if ever done.
great video I really like this corridor
I should not have put my kayak away for the winter! We didn't have winter! 😮😢😂
Not this year...it was really weird...
I was really curious if you know how deep this section of the river gets. I was considering wading down this section of the river once it starts warming up.
It gets pretty shallow...and this was before the 2023/2024 drought hit. I suspect currently it's too shallow to run. I believe parts of the river may have new logjams as well as this review was from four years ago.
Very nice. I expected more fallen trees.
It's a very underrated creek...looking forward to returning!
@@AaronSmith-sx4ez It's very pretty. Years ago I stopped my motorcycle on the same stone culvert bridge you showed the motorcycle at. I was feeling nostalgic and searched "Honey Creek, Wis" and your vid popped up. Thanks! Have you kayaked the Mukwonago River? It's nice too.
@@browngreen933 It's ironic, but there were motorcycles on the bridge parked and checking out the view when I did my trip? I've done the Mukwonago...great river...but wild rice has choked off parts of the channel.
This proves Caesar was in America.
Was the bridge in this footage Highway 10 ? The Black River frome Greenwood down to Neillsville is supposedly the fastest flowing river in the US in that stretch. This is my Favorite River.
The bridge at 1:55 is Hwy 10. The Black is a great river! Sadly it's often too high or too low.
@@WisconsinRiverTrips. Can I ask where you're from ? Neillsville ? My Mom is from Neillsville. I have alot of family still there and all around that area.
@@randycalkins6361 Wisconsin Dells...it's a 2 hour drive for me to Neillsville but it is worth it.
@@WisconsinRiverTrips. Nice. Yes I love the Neillsville,Hatfield areas. They have always been a big part of my life growing up. I like the Dells area too. I'm in Janesville so I don't have the nice scenery like all of you have.
I have finished some of the trout streams that run into this River in southern Wisconsin it's kind of a muddy wide deep depressing Rivers like the ones down here in Kentucky. You probably never came across a riffle on it
very nice.
Glad you guys are able to get in another trip before the snow falls. Thanks again for another great post! 🙂
I read your blog and can comment on a few things as I've done this stretch being a local. Yes, out laws suck regarding water. The signs, I guess I'm used to them and don't notice, but spring grove, Richmond are very low crime areas. Nothing at all to worry about.wonder lake always was strange to me growing up on a public lake, I had heard stories from coworkers who would. Sneak in and fish there and inevitably got caught and escorted out by cops.
Private lakes are such an alien concept in Wisconsin! It's too bad they exists in Illinois.
Thanks
Thank you for another beautiful video.
I don't know how these videos slipped by me. My parents had a farm just south of Osborne center, good float, but very dependent on rain
This is my wife and I go to float with friends. Probably done this 30 plus times. My pic is of the mill if you haven't noticed. The run to Garber is my favorite for fishing
Keep up the good work
My favorite place in the world. 😊 Sadly I never canoed this section.
It's a nice stretch
don't have a cow man
