Expert paddler Mike Svob
has been canoeing and kayaking the rivers of the Midwest for 30 years.
He paddled more than a thousand miles to complete these books. Below
are brief descriptions of the canoe trips that Mike goes into detail
with in his books with maps. The maps are very useful, showing rapids,
take in and take out points and other things of interest. |

_______________________________________________________________
Deertail
Creek- Rusk County-7 miles. A
trip on the lower Deer Tail is for
those who want to "pioneer it'".
Water levels should be medium or better
for a pleasant trip. During low flows
there are many difficult shallows.
Canvas shoes or hip boots are a good
idea anytime. Expect to scramble over
a few fallen trees. The average trip
by canoe takes about three hours,
or much longer if serious fishing
is done. Put in is off the Hwy 27
bridge, 5 miles south of Ladysmith.
Take out for this trip is the Cty.
Hwy D bridge.
