Canoeing the Galena River,
Wisconsin
Designated the Galena on some maps,
the fever on others, this delightful
stream winds through the rugged hills
of the Driftless Area. When the water
volume is sufficient, usually through
May or after sustained rainfall, the
river provides paddlers with multitudes
of pleasant riffles, often in combination
with lovely, wooded bluffs and rock
formations. Flowing through the heart
of the historic lead minig district,
the river generally has a remote feel,
with few dwellings.

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. |
