General Overview
A minor stream, with some small waves and potentially technical maneuvering to negotiate. In years past, this has been used by the local paddling club as a 'first moving water' experience for students (new boaters). A local Kiwanis Club sponsors a (generally flatwater) race each spring (2024 being the 50th year!), starting well upstream at Koepp Park in Pewaukee, ending at the Frame Park Rotary Building.
This may be paired with (or either may be 'substituted for' the other) the listed run on the
Fox River in Waukesha, which has it's put-in about 2.25 miles downstream of the listed take-out for this reach.
