Description

A mostly flatwater access paddle contains a few good warm-up drops which allow some fine, easy play. What could otherwise be a peaceful access is likely to be disturbed by the roar of off-road vehicles in the adjacent Tigerton OHV Park and Campground. The crux of this run is a wonderful finale at the dells. A half-mile of continuous action, through a rock walled rocky dells, demands strong intermediate skills. (Be very vigilant, looking well downstream for rocks and possible wood! There will not be many eddies and action will be swift at moderate or higher flows.) Flips or swims are likely to be brutal. For strong paddlers, numerous play spots (generally with 'two-boat' eddies) exist in this stretch. This reach is fairly short, so you may wish to combine it with one or more other sections which are close by (for a Shawano County double- or triple-header): - Hayman Falls - Rocky Run - Upper Red
