Sauk Creek - * UPDATE 2025.09.05 Sketchy wood, but doable * Conservancy to S.Wisconsin St. (1.18 mile or 0.3 mile PnH) (WI)
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.)
Park roadside at the conservancy property (on CTH.KK/N.Moore Road). Carry down the path, across the footbridge, and upstream (left). At the first split in the path, stay left. You will cross a very brief bridge/boarwalk (over a swampy spot) to reach the top of Krueger Falls. If the creek is at runnable levels, you will have to wade through shallow water to scout the falls (visualize your 'markers' for your approach when in your boat).
After scouting the falls, decide upon your put-in. Reasonable options are:
The shortest carry is to put in immediately downstream or just upstream of the "Three Bar Bridge". Look for the first location where there is not too much underbrush, mount up, rip-snort'n peel-out, and the action is on!
North from this point (amid the pine trees), while there is still a very prominent path, YOU WILL BE ON PRIVATE LAND! YOU ARE TRESPASSING OUT OF THE CONSERVANCY! Everything upstream from here (to CTH.LL/Seven Hills Road, to I43, to Mink Ranch Road, and beyond) is lower gradient, and virtually guaranteed to have plenty of snag-filled areas with mandatory portages.
