Cabin fever must be setting in, phone calls and emails have started their annual winter jump as people start planning out summer canoe camping trips. Meanwhile, I’ll be buried in tax documents and spreadsheets for the next few weeks (continuing on the last few weeks). Strangely enough, this is my favorite part of the offseason…

I was reminded that we’re officially 8 years old now! Wisconsin Canoe was officially incorporated on Jan 1, 2010. It’s a little strange to think that this pet project wasn’t expected to last more than a season or two. Going into our ninth year on the water I’m truly humbled by how well we’ve been…

Tis’ the season. Need a gift for someone that’s already looking forward to warmer weather? We have gift certificates! Plus, buy a gift certificate between now and Christmas and we’ll send you a dry fit t-shirt (your choice on whether to gift it or keep it for yourself, I won’t judge). Let us know if…

Our online system is now open for the 2018 season! There’s no rush to book a trip, even the busiest weekends don’t typically sell out until 3-4 weeks in advance, but if you like the piece of mind that comes with having the trip all set and ready to go, we’re here for you! -Ryan

We’re now closed for the 2017 season

This is it, the end of the 2017 season! After a pretty rough start it’s been going really well and this weekend is no exception. We’re pushing sunny and highs in the upper 80s today through Saturday. Overnight Saturday it looks like we’ll have a 50% chance of rain (less than .1″) as a ‘cold’…

We’ve got two weekends left and this one looks fantastic! Sunny and crisp with highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s. Plus it looks like we’ll have the illusive east wind at our backs! Water levels continue to be great with tons of sand bars. Now that Labor Day Weekend is behind us…

We’re looking at the perfect end to the summer! Highs in the upper 70s/low 80s and no chance of rain through Labor Day. On top of that, water levels are ideal. If you haven’t made it out yet this year and were hoping to, better hurry! After this we’ve only got two more weekends left.…

This late in the year we’re seeing the usual late August water levels which means more sandbars than you’ll know what to do with. The easterly winds play a little havoc with the Prairie Du Sac dam as the wind starts pushing the water around and the dam fights to keep those shifting water levels…

Sounds like the jet stream is heading south which means we’re about to get warmer with more humidity sometime this week. That also means we’re going to see more rain and storms come through which has been surprisingly uncommon so far in the last month. This Wednesday night looks to be the big one with…
