Take-out WI

Take-out: Pedestrian Bridge

Villa Mann Creek - W.Whitaker Ave. to Wilson Park Creek (0.57 mi.) (WI)

Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 100.0 – 200.0 CFS

Likely minimal flow; likely too low for any reasonable whitewater experience.

Description

Not far downstream on Wilson Park Creek, as soon as you see a pedestrian bridge, do your best to find slackwater/eddy at either shore to take out.

===================================================================================

Wilson Park Creek is (presently) cement ditch from here to its confluence with the Kinnickinnic River.

It goes underground for 0.2 mile as it passes under Point Loomis Shopping plaza (between Loomis Road and Morgan Avenue at 27th Street). It has no vertical 'jumps' in the 1.53 miles from here until near 30th & Euclid Avenue, where it slips down a short steep slide into a quarter-mile-long underground culvert.

As it exits that culvert (out from under the northwest corner ofAurora/St.Lukes Medical Center) it slips down another short slide into the cement channel of the Kinnickinnic River.
