Canoeing the Illinois-Fox
River, Wisconsin
This trip is of a very different
character than the often marshy, sparsely
populated stretch from Mukwonago to
Tichigan Lake. On the average the
river is a little wider here--typically
70-80 feet--has higher banks, and
flows through an attractive wooded
corridor. Beginning and ending in
small attractive cities, the trip
passes through a third community where
an old mill dam must be portaged.
The nearby Racine County Bicycle Trail
parallels the river from Burlington
to Waterford, providing an opportunity
to peddle and paddle at the same time.

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. |
