Canoe Camping for the First Time
As winter starts to fade, I’ve been getting a lot of questions from people that have never tried canoe camping before. While it sounds kind of exotic, like an extreme sport of sorts, it’s surprisingly accessible. If you’ve got basic car camping gear, you can canoe camp (we help with the canoe). We’ve got a…

Spring Warm Up
In the interest of full disclosure, we’re currently expecting ~5″ of snow tomorrow, BUT, these past few days have had great weather. The first nice weekend of spring (because meteorological winter ended 4 days ago) is my 2nd favorite part of the offseason (tax season is first, don’t ask) because the reservations start trickling in.…

Think warm thoughts
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…

Happy New Year!
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…

Last weekend of the year!
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’…

Ideal fall weekend
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…

Perfect end to summer
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.…
