Canoeing the Plover River,
Wisconsin
Beginning as a tiny rivulet a few
miles south of Antigo, the Plover
flows to the southwest through an
entirely rural environment until it
joins the Wisconsin River at Stevens
Point. For devotees of little rivers,
the Plover is a wonderful stream for
a relaxing quietwater trip. Never
very dramatic, it offers varied settings
that include gentle riffles, wooded
bluffs, lowland hardwood forest, some
marshy vegetation, and almost unbroken
tranquility. The river is clean and
clear with a slightly copperish tint.
