Sunday September 27th, 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. Paddle the Wisconsin River, from McNaughton Bridge to Apperson boat landing
If you think paddling is over because all the tourists went home and school started, think again. Fall is a great paddling season in Wisconsin. So gather up your boat and paddling gear and join NPT members for our annual Wisconsin River paddle.
We will meet at the Put-in at the McNaughton Bridge Landing at 2:00 p.m. and drop off our boats and gear. From there we will shuttle vehicles to the Apperson Dive boat landing about 3 miles (7min) away. This stretch of river is all flatwater and very scenic. The upper section is mostly wooded and the lower section is a huge wild rice bed with interlacing waterways enticing one to explore. If you have binoculars you may want to bring them along. It is not uncommon to see great blue herons, bald eagles, and an assortment of waterfowl. A wearable (it’s a state law) PFD is a requirement in each boat.
Directions: From Rhinelander take Hwy 47 north to the swiping big curve (McNaughton) and take Bridge Road on the right. Follow Bridge Road, about a mile, you will come to the paved landing on the right. 5612 Bridge Road Come outside and play – J
