| We'll canoe down the lower Wisconsin River between Sauk City and Spring Green, camping Friday night at Tower Woods State Park, and Saturday night on a sandbar island. Bright spring days will afford deeper water and easier paddling through this wide, sandy-bottomed Wildlife Area. Cost includes canoes, shuttling, 2 breakfasts, and dinner. (Bring 2 cold lunches.) Less experienced canoeists will be paired with more experienced paddlers the first day. | Participants must be approved by leader in advance.
For easy and safe canoe camping, water discharge should be between 5,000 cfs and 10,000 cfs. For river level, see the USGS real time data for Muscoda. For upstream tributary levels see USGS at Brewery Creek at Cross Plains. For mid upstream tributary levels see USGS Black Earth Creek at Black Earth. For the 5 day Madison weather forecast, see Intellicast Madison Weather. Also see WI River Watershed Rainfall Summary. |
