Canoeing and Fishing the Wisconsin River (also Swimming and Sunning) |
 |
The Lower Wisconsin is a river for people who like to travel and to take in the sights at a leisurely pace. River currents average 3 to 5 miles per hour. A very scenic 25-mile stretch can be enjoyed between Prairie du Sac and Spring Green. Or take the less traveled 27-mile trip between Spring Green and Boscobel. There are numerous canoe landings along the way.
If you are looking for a fun-filled, everything-taken-care-of Weekend Camping Adventure, call Erik and arrange a trip.

For just plain relaxing nothing feels better than taking a cool dip in a slow flowing river on a hot day or stretching out on a sandbar to catch a few sun rays. Ask us where our favorite spot to do just that can be found.
A beach and swimming area plus a canoe launch can be found just 1 mile from the Spring Valley Inn.
