Meadow Meanders

American Whitewater 42.6300, -88.3650

Save this feature with the run it belongs to.

Gauge Conditions

Runnable: 50.0 – 350.0 CFS

Likely too low. However, rains often can push flows in river up without gauge reflecting that due dam-regulated outlet of Geneva Lake.

Description

Up until this point, the river has largely been flanked by tree-lined shores, and has generally good swift current (with occasional riffles and small waves). As the shores become increasing open, the current subsides a bit, and the river meanders through wide-open lowland floodplain. Depending on time of year, keep your eyes open for birds and other wildlife as you paddle these broad meanders.

After nearly a mile, as trees are nearer the shores, minor riffles will again be present.
