Grant Street+Walters Street (Alternate access)
Sauk Creek - * UPDATE 2025.09.05 Sketchy wood, but doable * Conservancy to S.Wisconsin St. (1.18 mile or 0.3 mile PnH) (WI)
Gauge Conditions
Almost certainly too low (but you could check its stick-gauge for possible low-water minimums). (Stick-gauge under 13.9' is a total scrape.)
Description
An alternate access would be to park near the corner of Grant Street+Walters Street. From this corner, there is a path which runs nearly parallel within the north border of the conservancy. Carry (about 300 yards) down the path, keeping to the right at any splits until you see the creek. This will bring you to the uppermost 'recommended' put-in.
HOWEVER ... with the wood situation (as of 2024.10.25), we cannot recommend putting in here! A total blockage will necessitate a portage within a minute downstream! Thus, you should then carry left/south about another 50-60 yards to be downstream of that blockage (or about 100-120 yards to our presently listed 'recommended put-in').
This (Grant Street/Walters Street) access is very nearly the same length carry as from our recommended parking/put-in location mentioned below. The 'upside' is that this is all downhill. However, the downside is that you don't get a 'preview' of Kruger Falls unless you make a stop there to scout before driving up to here to carry down and put on. So ... why putz with all that ... just use the following put-in!
