Canoeing/Kayaking

chippewariver

There are several good opportunities in the county for canoeists and kayakers. The Yellow River offers a good canoeing opportunity throughout its length. It is especially scenic from around Boyd downstream to Cadott. Canoeists will have to take out above the Cadott dam and put in downstream of Cadott to continue on downstream to Lake Wissota. During low water periods, it becomes more difficult to canoe without getting out to drag a canoe over shallow water areas.

The section of the Chippewa River from Chippewa Falls downstream to the Lake Hallie area is a nice 7-mile stretch to canoe and fish.

The original river channel below the main Jim Falls dam (about one mile) has been developed as a kayaking area. Xcel Energy has three periods during the summer when they release more water for kayakers to enjoy.
