Canoeing the Milwaukee River, Wisconsin

Visitors to the upper reaches of the Milwaukee River are pleasantly surprised to discover a small, clear, rural stream that provides many miles of excellent paddling. Originating in marshland southeast of Fond du Lac, the Milwaukee is quite canoeable after the dam in Kewaskum. Although several dams have been removed from the river, many remain. Most paddling would be sections, between the dams.
