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…

Too soon to say anything with certainty but the long range forecast is looking pretty good for the coming week/weekend with highs getting into the upper 80s and sandbars for miles.  It’s not called the river of a thousand isles for nothing and the last few weeks have proved it.  That trend will continue through…

Looks like highs in the 70s with a chance of isolated storm Sunday afternoon.  Sandbars are at late summer peaks – they are everywhere.  We’re sold out for this weekend but you might get lucky if someone cancels last minute (keep an eye on the inventory levels as they’ll show up there immediately after being…

Looks like we’ve got a low pressure system slowly moving through our area this weekend.  It’ll be wet today and tomorrow but by Friday evening the low should be moving Eastward.  Not a lot of instability with this one so expect mostly rain with maybe a rumble of thunder here and there.
