Outdoor
Recreation - Canoeing/Kayaking
There
are several good opportunities for canoeists and kayakers in the
county. The Yellow River offers a good canoeing opportunity throughout
its length in the county. It is especially scenic from around Boyd
downstream to Cadott. Canoeists would 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 stretch to canoe and fish. It
is about a seven-mile stretch, easily done in a short period of
time.
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.
