Canoeing the Bark River,
Wisconsin
Originating at Bark lake, the Bark
River twists for many miles toward
the southwest, passing through farmland,
marshes, hardwood forests, lakes and
a couple of small communities before
joining the Rock River at Fort Atkinson.
The most popular canoeing stretch
on the river is the final western
leg from Prince's Point to Fort Atkinson,
paddleable in one long trip or more
sensibly in two leisurely day trips.
The book below will give you detailed
info on canoeing 12 miles of the river
from Princes Point to Fort Atkinson
with detailed descriptions of the
area, maps showing rapids, portages,
nearby roads, take outs, etc.
