Description

This alternate put-in is on the Branch River. It adds nearly two miles on the Branch (a fair amount of which lies within a golf course; It is unknown at this time whether cart bridges allow sufficient clearance at boatable flows) and 2.35 miles on the Manitowoc for a total of 4.3 miles more to the run (and a total of 8.15 miles). There are other possible access points, but this location appears to add a fair number of shoals and possibly playable rapids.
