High Water in Wisconsin


We paddled the Pine River Oxbow today, my favorite spot. Usually at the put in you can see about three feet of boulder protruding... it was underwater today. In Northern Wisconsin we've had less rain than the Southern part of our state with its flooding.


It was a fast paddle with some chop and some headwinds, but thoroughly enjoyable.

Familiar landmarks were not easily seen, most covered with high water. The take out had water up the steps. It was a bit like trying out a previously unexplored river.
