Month: August 2018

8:26am 8/29 Update: Another nasty storm last night in pretty much the exact worst place. We’ve cancelled all trips through Monday due to serious flooding. We’ll see upwards of 18 million gallons of water per minute at its peak, 3 times more than what we’d normally cancel for. On the brightside, because it’s so localized,…

Quick update: The Arena landing is open for business again! Any trips that were scheduled for Arena are now operating normally. Mazomanie landing is also now accessible via Hwy 78 to Cty Y (~5 minutes further than going through town from Spring Green). We are now planning to use Mazomanie launch starting Friday. ===== Still…

First off – the Wisconsin River is 100% unaffected by the flooding nearby. Well, 85% unaffected would be more accurate. The majority of the rainfall was in the Rock and Sugar River watersheds. Only a relatively minor tributary of the Wisconsin (Black Earth Creek) is affected. While this creek peaked at several thousand CFS, it…

No word on how long it’ll take to fix the approach but for the foreseeable future, plan to get to Spring Green via Hwy 12/60 through Sauk City or Hwy 151/23 through Dodgeville. Hwy 14 is out. ===== Quick update: I forgot we still have to be able to get you on the river once…

Quick update: I forgot we still have to be able to get you on the river once you get to us. Currently our only accessible landing is PDS. Mazomanie looks to be out of the picture for at least a day or two. Arena may or may not be accessible in the next few hours.…

Our ridiculous string of perfect conditions continues this weekend.  While we’re bookended by some unstable weather on either side, Friday through Sunday look amazing.  Highs in the mid 80s with light winds mostly at your back plus perfect water conditions leaving us with hundreds of sandbars but still plenty of water to make it downstream.…

Once again, conditions this weekend are phenomenal.  Clear skies with highs in the mid 80s and nights in the low 60s.  Water levels are at seasonal lows which means tons of sandbars.  Even the winds should be light and favorable out of the north/east. This weekend has been sold out for a while now but…

With one mediocre exception, this weekend is looking pretty great.  Highs in the low 90s with 50% cloud cover so plenty warm enough to swim but not so much sun you feel like you’re gonna melt (but still bring sunscreen).  There’s next to no chance of rain/storms and the sandbars are out in force.  I…
