Description

Our suggested put-in is from a double-track road off of Rat River Road.

If this is accessible, you will put-in on Bear Creek (7.62 Sq.Mi. at this point), and paddle about 1/3rd of a mile to the Rat River. Drainage at this confluence is 70.2 square miles.

If this double-track is not accessible, it may be possible to access Bear Creek from Bear Creek Road (45.50643 -88.52356), however parking looks tenuous, it more than doubles the length of Bear Creek that you paddle, and (more importantly) that ~1/3rd mile stretch appears highly likely to have multiple snags which are likely portages. You'd have to have a look and make that call.
