Namekagon … Flambeau … St. Croix … Peshtigo … Wolf … The names of these Wisconsin rivers alone evoke the essential elements of a classic paddle: wild scenery, clear water, wild rapids. The badger state has river routes to meet nearly every desire. You can leisurely float the Red Cedar, lose yourself in the wilds of the Namkagon, St. Croix, or Flambeau, or ride the whitewater of the Peshtigo or Wolf Rivers. Or, you could paddle out into the mighty Mississippi via the lower Wisconsin like Marquette and Joliet. Wisconsin lacks the comprehensive, free, DNR-produced paddling information of its neighbor to the west, Minnesota, but some solid guidebooks point your bow down your own perfect river.
