Turtle Creek - A) Delavan to Hwy.140 (PnP or up to 19 miles) (WI)
Likely too low for any whitewater play. River may be floated, but expect to scrape in numerous places.
At this road crossing, the creek passes through three culverts. Snags may block some combination of (one, two, or all three) culverts. Approach with caution to carefully assess whether any are passable! The outflow (downstream side of the road/culverts) will contain somewhat strong currents as the stream hits a fairly deep pool. Minor play may be possible for proper whitewater boats at most flows. Primarily this would consist of bow-stalls or stern-squirts into the currents. If anyone still has a squirt boat, there could be some decent 'down time' here. Since there are dams and ponds upstream (on both the Turtle and Jackson creek), water is generally pretty clear for an upper Midwest stream.
Roadside parking is available, so this could be done as a PnP (park-and-play), or end of a short trip from the listed put-in.
FWIW, USGS lists another sampling site at this location, citing drainage area here as 84.7 square miles.
