Description

In Southeastern Wisconsin, it does not take much to be labeled a 'falls'. At this location, you will find a 1-2' ledge. At some flows, there may be some minor play possible here, but more likely, it will be little more than a short drop (or minor wave) to excite only those not much experienced in whitewater.

Just downstream of the bridge, a small dells will be encountered. At some flows, minor compression waves may form through here.
