Wequiock Falls to Nicolet Drive (1.25 miles) *Access Issues*

Quick Facts: Location: EastCentral Wisconsin, ~10 miles ENE from Green Bay. Shuttle Length/DriveTime: 1.9 miles/4 minutes Character: A small lazy stream (upriver of this point) drops into a wooded up, Midwest-style canyon, and races toward the bay of Green Bay. Put-in elevation is approximately 710'. Take-out elevation is approximately 600'. Thus total elevation change is approximately 110'. Drainage area at the falls is 8.72 sq.mi. (as calculated via USGS StreamStats Beta software). Video link: https://youtu.be/OdPKR\_lQkiE --- A scenic waterfall in a small wayside park makes one wonder 'what lies downstream?' Taking a look (on the downstream side of the culvert passing under the road below the falls) the creek continues for a ways in a deep (for EastCentral Wisconsin) gorge. Unfortunately, much of the ~1.25 miles to the next road is heavily wooded; Deadfall and snags would be *everywhere*. The road at the take-out (where numerous deadfall and snags are apparent just upstream), is posted 'No Parking' (on both sides) for a good distance either side of the creek, so you would have a bit of a carry at the end of the run to anyplace you would be able to park your shuttle vehicle (admittedly not a problem for most boaters). So . . . why put this on AW? To save anyone the error of thinking they may have discovered a possible new whitewater run from going here with great expectations. It would take extensive logging (and with great regularity) to make this a 'go'. That said, if you are bored some time and feel like exploring . . . it could be interesting to walk down this creek to see what all is there. (Hint: Aerial photos appear to show a couple significant drops downstream!) Just keep in mind . . . Wisconsin law says you have the right to be *on the water* or *in the water*, but you have *no right to be on shore on private property*! Unless you can find the landowner to ask and receive permission before exploring, keep your feet wet and you're ok, set foot on dry land, and you ARE TRESPASSING!
