The Flambeau River in northern Wisconsin is another canoeing option. It's a little more crowded and has a few rapids to go through, but campsites are plentiful.

I agree that the Flambeau is fun - it has been 16 years since I was there, but 16 years ago there sure weren't many people on it.

canoeboy,
Here are some WI river route links:

Sadly, their info on the Flambeau is thin at best.  I did the section from below the dam to Park Falls (is that the Flowage?) about 3 decades ago.  It rocked...wide river sections broken by fun whitewater.

You might want to check out the Bois Brule too.  There's one set of rapids that must be portaged but the rest are a blast to run.

Just wanted to bring this back to the front page for one last viewing. 

Have any of you paddled the Flambeau River in north central Wisconsin?  We're paddling the north branch of the Flambeau the weekend of June 4-6, 2004 and would like to hear how you liked the river.  Anything specific to rapids and campsites would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Pete

Author Mike Svob has written a guide, "Paddling Northern Wisconsin" which has a 5 page description on the North Branch of the Flambeau.  Sounds like a nice float.  Have a nice trip Jackfish.

Thanks Yellowbird.  I have Mike Svob's book and I think it's excellent.  Just wondering if anyone from the board has had any personal experiences on the river. 

And yes, I think it's going to be a fun trip.  Looking forward to it.

Jackfish,

I have a friend that lived in Medford, WI for about 4 years before moving to Nebraska. He had done sections of the Flambeau & loved it. I was planning to do a river trip with him in 2000, but he ended up changing jobs & moving so I missed out Sad

I don't think you will be disapointed.
