Cedar Creek - *2025.09.09 Wood Update* Cedarburg Mill to CTH.T (2.3 miles) (WI)
E.L.F.(Extreme Low Flow) beginner/novice: Open boats (canoes or recreational kayaks without skirts), kayaks, rafts; minimal whitewater play.
Paddlers wishing a longer trip may extend their outing by nearly a mile, taking out in the quaint little burg of Hamilton. This yields a trip nearly 3.2 miles in length, with a shuttle of only 1.3 miles.
There will be very little actual whitewater in this extra distance, though there may be swiftwater and shoals. The main 'benefit' will be seeing a bit more of this area. Hamilton has a good number of historic stone buildings (houses and businesses).
However, take-out here is very awkward. River-left is all private property. Above the bridge river-right is very steep banks, uneasy footing, and heavily covered in vegetation (at least, once summer arrives). Downstream of the bridge is private property and a vertical cement wall.
