Never ending Wausau area river questions…..

[Trekkin and Birdin]

So I’m looking at Knoozer’s GWRKK series of four caches.

Questions….

1) Is the stretch of river involved easy paddling? Like, no big rapids or anything? It’s early in the season yet for challenges!

2) How long can moderately experienced canoe paddlers expect this series to take? Half a day? All day?

I guess I’ll ask the same question about Rick Blick’s river series, too. If the weather’s decent, we might want a little adventure for our year end personal day!

GWRKK= Easy flat water paddling, no rapids, could have to fight some wind on this wider section of river. I would roughly estimate 3 hours of regular paddling- less if you’re racing other folks. 😉 This section has some homes on the shores and you will likely see other boats- including motor boats- depending upon the day and time. Not that it would be an issue, but it is less wild than…

Blick’s Series= More current, narrower section of river, some minor rapids- (but enough to make that whitewater sound), will require paddling against the current for a pretty reasonable distance. More time out of the boat and much farther from the boat. Estimate 2 1/2 to 3 hours here too. No homes, likely to not see other boats at all.

Oh,

And to add confusion don’t forget about: Scooby Doo.

Flat water flowage area, no rapids, interesting area to paddle, other boat traffic possible/ likely, this one has been checked by owner already this year so everything should be good to go. I would estimate 2- 2 1/2 hours for this one.

Thanks. I have all the needed information ready for Scooby Doo, maybe that would be a good place to warm up the deltoids this spring!
