Fall Colors Paddle in the Kettle Moraine Region

Join us for a paddle on the East Branch of the Milwaukee River from New Fane to Barton on the main Milwaukee River. This beautiful 11.4 mile section of the river begins with intimate riffles and eventually becomes mostly flatwater punctuated by some riffles.

If you are camping with us at Kettle Moraine and want to follow us to the put in, we will leave the campsite at 9:00am sharp.

Plan on about 5 total hours (at most) on the river with a stop at or near the Oak Drive landing to eat our packed lunches.

This trip is suitable for anyone with some moving water experience. Shorter boats are better, but longer boats are fine if you can back ferry and maneuver around obstacles in fast current.

If you have a spare boat to lend/rent or would like to borrow a boat, post that in the comments below.

It's possible we might have to move the location of this trip due to water levels or obstructions, so watch for updates as we get closer to the event.
