B) Stevens Lake Rd to Chipmunk Rapids (9.9 miles)

With 80% of its length as flowing flatwater, this beautiful stretch of the Pine River is best considered as a way to add 1.3 miles of class 1-2 rapids to a trip from Hwy 55 by taking out at Hwy 139.  Or, it could be a way to add some distance and a rapids onto a downriver trip by starting above Chipmunk Rapids.   The whole trip from Stevens Lake Rd to Chipmunk Rapids takes about 4 hours. The Pine River is a state of Wisconsin designated Wild River however, all of the public-owned riparian land along this section of the Pine is USFS land that is managed similar to but not the same as WI DNR managed land further downriver.  Camping, continuously running artesian spring water, and pit-toilet are available at the USFS campground at Chipmunk Rapids.
