Canoeing the Manitowoc River,
Wisconsin
The seldom paddled Manitowoc
begins just east of Lake Winnebago,
flowing through marshland in most of
its upper reaches. A few miles east
of the Collins Marssh, however, it changes
character completely, passing through
woodlands, riffles and rapids before
entering the city of Manitowoc and emptying
into Lake Michigan. Indeed, the Manitowoc
upstream and downstream from County
JJ near Collins is almost like a tale
of two rivers. The former tends to be
open, wide, marshy and suitable for
beginners, while the latter is generally
narrower, steeper, and more appropriate
for experienced paddlers.

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. |
