Description
Right as you prepare to enter the culverts under Hwy.181/Wauwatosa Road, another triple-wire smooth-strand fence (possibly electrified) will block your way.
Again, portage will be difficult. I have been able to lift the bottom wire (when not electrified!) and squeeze under. More likely, though, you'll be trying to carefully squeeze under or between the strands, push or pull your boat through, cross the (often rather busy) road, and put in on the other side.
