We'll try to get one last day paddling on the Wolf river, section 4. Right now this is planned to be a day trip, leaving the union at 730, then meeting the outfitters at 11am to purchase permits ($30) and be shuttled to the top of the run. This trip will require an R3p rating and appropriate cold weather gear, as temperatures will likely be similar to those on whitewater fall colors.
What american whitewater has to say about this section:
This is the most challenging segment on the Wolf River. The character of the river changes from (generally) longer boulder-garden style rapids (upstream of the reservation and the upper/prior stretch in the reservation) to shorter but steeper drops in this section. In all cases, fairly long flatwater pools separate the main rapids.

If we get sufficient interest and vehicles there may be a chance to split this trip into a day trip on Saturday and an overnight trip which will paddle another river on Sunday. If this is something you're interested in contact Andrew Maizel.
The shuttle is set for 11:30 am at Smokey Falls, thus giving us plenty of day light to paddle and get back on the road to Madison (if people just want to do Sat. only).
