Mineral Springs Creek Confluence
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 alternative take-out now exists downstream of the bridge. Vertical walls used to flank both sides of the river. The right wall has been laid back and landscaped. It will be a bit of a carry to anyplace that you can park your vehicle (either at the aforementioned location, or at an improved parking area in a peninsula/park immediately northeast of the powerplant and overlooking the harbor, called Coal Dock Park).
This being a far more visible location (with fishermen, people walking the sidewalks, etc), and preferring to keep much more of a 'low profile', I strongly prefer to take out under the Wisconsin Street Bridge, and enjoy the shorter carry to the vehicle(s).
