White River Park

White (Fox/Illinois trib.) - Sheridan Springs Road to Mill Street (3.75 miles) (WI)

Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 50.0 – 350.0 CFS

Likely too low. However, rains often can push flows in river up without gauge reflecting that due dam-regulated outlet of Geneva Lake.

Description

Some folks (especially larger groups) may opt to start at this park. However, it is a longer carry/drag to the water (~370', more than the length of a football field) versus a carry/drag of maybe 120' at our listed put-in.

From their website: "White River Park, the County's largest and newest park, opened in July of 2014. With nearly 200 acres and two miles of frontage along the White River, this park will initially feature walking trails (almost five miles already developed) cross country skiing, a canoe/kayak launch, picnicking, fishing, hunting and trapping (by permit only)."

There is a minor rock-dam/riffle here which may provide tame surfs for novice boaters.

Downstream, if the weather is pleasant, there is likely to be people on trails and benches, enjoying the park, and watching you enjoy the river.
