Have made this drive with my brother and late parents a few times. Amazing to think what our founding fathers must have made of this area and when you see the old wagon roads and where they had to lower and lift their wagons from what would have been a much wider river it makes you admire their strength and courage!
We were there in July when I was applying for a job. I did not get the job. I did not see many jet skis but I think the weather was a bit cooler then. Wisconsin lakes that are bigger in size are full of jet skiiers from Wisconsin and Illiniois. Wish I was fishing. I just want to catch a fish. Does not matter what kind but I would love a Walleye. I think there are certain times around here to fish for them on the rivers
Weren't any of them annoying jet skis when I use to fish this lake. Much quieter and nicer. Unless you like jet skis of course. Steamboat Rock parking area had just been put in then. Great perch fishing right out from the launch. Great walleye fishing then too. Not sure how it is now. Walleye fishing by the GC Dam was tremendous, you could fish close to the damn then, when they were building the 3rd pumphouse down river. Lots of 12lb+ walleyes then. Fished at night, no limit then.
I remember seeing a historical marker about the wagon trails. My memory is not so good today, but was this an area Lewis and Clark came to? They could not get around the tall yellow striped cliffs? Sacagawea was there?
I really do not see why jet skis are fun. It seems to me the cost of them would be too high for the amount of fun you get out of them. I kind of feel the same way for snow mobiles and ATVs although ATVs are useful for ice fishing and getting out in the woods if you have a long way to walk
Too bad about the job. Jet skis are everywhere. I grew up in Michigan. We moved out to Spokane in 70. My brother moved out to Wash St in the early 60s. He fished close to the base of the Grand Coulee Dam once in 68, they caught 33 walleyes and the average weight was 10 lbs. Biggest was 17 lbs. They were considered trash fish by the locals then, no limits, most people didn't even know what they were.

If you think the scenery is amazing in a car try it in a boat-it,s awesome!
Lewis and Clark went further south.down to human ingenuity
