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…

Water levels have dropped back near long term averages i.e. the sandbars are out in force. Long range forecast also looks excellent with only Thursday afternoon/evening having a chance of rain, everything else is sunny in the low 80s. This is downright ideal conditions. We’re sold out this weekend and will likely sell out the…

Everyone says this every year but, summer is flying by. We’ve only got a handful of weeks left in the summer canoe camping season though people are certainly taking advantage, we’ve been sold out for the upcoming weekend since early July. Weather forecast could be better, but it could also be worse. Highs in the…

First of all, have you guys seen the weather forecast? Freakin’ amazing! Sunny, hot, not humid, minimal chance of storms, and low winds into the next work week. I don’t think that’s happened yet this season. As for water levels – little bit of rain today but didn’t seem to be enough to cause any…

Today looks like it’ll be about as high as it goes and the reports we’ve heard back were all positive. Water levels at most points upstream are receding and with the dry forecast we should be out of the woods. Water level outlook above Portage in particular has been cut in half with a further…
