Wisconsin River Overnight Canoeing

Come float down the Wisconsin river!

This is an entry level quiet water overnight trip on the Wisconsin river. We will be floating downriver starting in Spring Green and taking out near Lone Rock, which is about a 6 mile paddle. We will meet at the boathouse at 9am, load boats, and drive to Spring Green (about an hour drive). The plan will be to camp alongside the Wisconsin about 5 miles downstream from put in, and then paddle the remaining distance the next morning and be back in Madison early enough to get some studying in! This should be a very easy paddle, as we will be floating downstream with minimal paddling necessary to make the distance we need to cover.

The trip will require a Canoe Lake Lesson and a provisional or standard swim test.

Trip cost will be $20, which will cover food and gas for the trip. The group food fund will cover group dinner Saturday night and campfire snacks, along with breakfast the next morning. 

You should bring:

• Personal sleeping gear
  • Sleeping bag and pad
• Clothing for on the water
• A sack lunch for Saturday

We will have a meeting to discuss a more detailed gear list as well as trip details on Thursday 9/20 at 8PM in the Mendota Lounge, attendance is mandatory for all participants. If you can't make it please reach out to the trip leaders.

If you have a car and are willing to drive, we will be able to open the trip up to more people so please let us know (we will also give you priority on the trip)! Additionally, don't hesitate to sign up on the waitlist! If we can open the trip up to more people you will have first dibs, and people drop all the time so you will likely be able to get on the trip even if you get waitlisted.I

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at ultimatefoye@gmail.com.

Come have fun on the Sconnie!
