Description

The put-in below Shays Dam offers a straightforward entry point to this stretch of the Turtle River, with minimal technical challenges immediately after the dam. Paddlers should be prepared for potential water level fluctuations and potential debris from the dam release, and maintain situational awareness as they begin their downstream journey through the Turtle/Flambeau Flowage section.
