Paddle the North Fork of the Flambeau: 9 Mile Creek Landing to Dix Dox Landing

Sunday is going to be a hot one, so it will be a great day to be on the water!
Join me and Scott for a paddle on an 11.5 mile section of the North Fork of the Flambeau River.
The north fork of the Flambeau River is famed for its beauty, abundant wildlife and trips that offer varying degrees of difficulty from flatwater to Class II whitewater. The Nine Mile to Dix Dox trip is the most popular section of the north fork, with alternating playful Class I whitewater and flatwater stretches.
Another great feature of this trip is the short shuttle route. You get to paddle almost twelve miles with a short six mile shuttle. Also, both the put-in and take-out on this stretch are excellent – each location equipped with water pumps, pit toilets, and DNR info stations.
Barnaby Rapids, the only named rapids on this section, provides some fun, with plenty of routes around the numerous boulders giving way to nice wave trains to follow. Once Barnaby spills you out into the next section of flatwater, you alternate flatwater and Class I riffles a couple more times. Just before reaching an area known as Dead Man’s Slough, the water relaxes into its character for the rest of the journey. The remainder of the paddle consists of flatwater dotted with boulders and periodic strainers along the shoreline.
The County Line Canoe Campground, which is almost exactly the midpoint of this section on river-left is a perfect place to stop for lunch. (There is even a pit toilet there!)
Beautiful alder marshes become more frequent as you make your way further downstream, with the overall depth of the water gradually increasing. The riverbed itself varies from large rocks and boulders to smaller rocks, gravel and occasional sand.
We will meet at 10:00am at the Nine Mile Creek Landing to set up the shuttle. Bring your lunch and all other paddle necessities!!
Hope to see a few of you adventurer's on this paddle!
