CRYSTAL RIVER ADVENTURE

General Info

​

On this adventure you'll be paddling a stretch of river from the Red Mill to Shadow Lake.  It's a 5 mile journey with lots of bends, turns, and wildlife.  Only a few houses border this waterway.  You'll find some minor rocks and rapids in the first 20 minutes and you'll need to maneuver your kayak around fallen trees as well as duck under some branches while the current to push you along.  

​

Daily Trips

 

We have daily trips available leaving from and returning to Lower South Park on Shadow Lake in Waupaca. Please show up at least 15-20 minutes prior to departure time. If you paddle at a leisurely pace, the trip will take roughly 2 hours to complete if you don’t stop.

 

What to Expect

 

You will find this stretch of river to be somewhat easy paddling.  There are a few small rocky areas that you will need to paddle over.  The only challenge may be to paddle around or possibly under a fallen tree along the way. So it does help to have some prior kayaking experience before you paddle this river.  The river depth varies from 1 - 4 feet of water.  If you are looking for an incredibly scenic paddling experience, this is for you.  Further instructions will be given by an instructor prior to your trip departure.
