Rapid WI

Junction Lake

Crystal - Chain O' Lakes to Little Hope (Wayside Park) (5 miles or PnP) (WI)

Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 75.0 – 350.0 CFS

Almost certainly too low for any real whitewater. *TENTATIVE: Please add a comment regarding gauge reading vs flow, runnability, and class/rating.

Primary
Runnable: 300.0 – 1,800.0 CFS

*IF* gauge correlates, could be 50-100 cfs. Perhaps a pretty fair flow? *PLEASE HELP YOUR FELLOW BOATERS WITH COMMENTS REGARDING GAUGE AND BOATABILITY!*

Description
Junction Lake rapid presents a largely unknown challenge within the Crystal River's Chain O' Lakes section, with minimal documented characteristics beyond its remote location. Paddlers should anticipate potential unmarked hazards and maintain heightened situational awareness, as limited beta suggests variable water conditions that could require precise maneuvering through potential rock gardens or shallow passages.
