Last summer we took several trips down the Wisconsin River. The stretch just west of our shop is a hidden gem in the Midwest. Below the dam that forms Lake Wisconsin is a section from Sauk City all the way to the Mississippi. Most of it is undeveloped and too shallow for pleasure boaters. The waterway is peppered with sandbars, beautiful rock walls and surrounded by the rolling Wisconsin landscape. We took several beginners and few seasoned paddlers for a float down the river in the warm afternoon sun. One of the paddlers was James Mills, an avid outdoorsman, athlete, photographer and journalist. James documented the trip with an article for the Milwaukee Examiner. Check out the article
