Take-out WI

Rotary Park (Alternative Take-out)

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
Runnable: 200.0 – 750.0 CFS

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

A final option (especially if someone had a yard sale (swam) and group members had to give chase to boat(s) and paddle(s), which are likely to make it all the way to the lake/harbor) is to paddle to the area of huge quarry rock.

It will be awkward to empty water from boats (if need be), and awkward to climb up the rocks. A bonus here is a public restroom, located by the corner of the harbor area (separate from and behind the Duluth Trading Company building).
