WI River Outings

08/14/2025

So, just like Grandpa Newton's stories used to start out, unfiltered PalMall dangling from his lips, several days of white/gray growth on his face that matched the hair on his head..."so, I'm sitting there, sucking on a Blue and....." It's the second, honestly, rough summer in a row at WRO. Wet June's and early July's are tough on a canoe rental. Don't worry, there'll be food to put in our bellies over the winter and Scott will muster up the cash to travel abroad, somewhere. However, if you've been thinking about coming up to paddle, stop thinking and start planning! We will be putting people out into October, the weather and the amount of interest will determined for how long. If you're carrying a credit, please consider taking advantage of that credit this year rather than holding it until next. To all of our long time customers, thank you for your years of support! To those who are still working on planning their first trip, life is too short, stop thinking about it, and do it! We hope to see you on the river soon!

Are there fish in the Wisconsin River? Absolutely! The question is, do you know how to catch them? This giant catfish was caught while Dad was being driven back upriver from Boscobel to Lone Rock to start their canoe trip. Fishing from the bank right where Otter Creek dumps into the Wisconsin is where this monster was caught. It's going to be an absolutely fabulous weekend this weekend! Plenty of sand bars and ridiculously pleasant temperatures. Tomorrow is August 1st, you're running out of summer!

The weather and river are looking spectacular for this weekend! If you are still humming and hawing whether or not you're going to get your trip in this year, make time this weekend. We still have boats available and you can book online at www.canoe-camping.com/rentals We'll see you on the river!

I've got the feeling this family is going to spend a lot of time swimming in the river on there day trip! By the end of next week, it's August!!! You are officially running out of summer. Give us a call to get your canoe trip set up, we're taking reservations through the end of September and multiple boats over multiple days into October. The river is looking outstanding right now with nice clean sand bars after the high water we had a couple weeks ago. Come on out and join us!

It's a family weekend! Grab friends and family and come on out and do some sandbar camping on the Lower Wisconsin Riverway! Welcome to our quiet stretch of river for 30 mi upriver from Boscobel and 30 miles downriver from Boscobel. This is the last weekend of July, next we slide into August. August dates are filling up quickly, if you're going to join us in 2025, it's time to stop thinking about it and start doing something about it. Will see you on the water!

Whaaaaa!? It's another Dad's weekend! We've got a few father and kids groups out there on the river this weekend. Yes, this post was intended to make you feel guilty and get you and your kids out to paddle on the Wisconsin River! The sport can't continue if you're not introducing your kids to the river 😉 The phone's been ringing all afternoon, we'd love to see you out on the river in 2025.

It's a daddy weekend! This group is heading out this morning for a 3-day trip on the Wisconsin. River levels are dropping, humidity has dropped, temperatures have dropped...everything is dropping! Things are picking up around here, if you have plans of coming to paddle with us in July and August, now is the time to book. Www.canoe-camping.com/renentals

No doubt that things picked up around here last week! Lots of happy people coming off the river. Everyone woke up to a much larger sandbar than they went to sleep on each night. Boats are cleaned, vans or fueled, we've got folks going out there in the week, the river is going to pop up for a bit for a day or two here and then drop right back down, we're ready for the heart of the season! We look forward to hearing from you or seeing your reservation come through. Let us know if we can be of any help.
