The Wisconsin River starts as a small stream near the Michigan border and flows south, then west for 430 miles before joining the Mississippi near Prairie du Chien. Many other smaller rivers and creeks join it along the way and make it a major American River. With 26 hydropower dams along its course it is called “The hardest working river in America.” This section contains fantastic rock formations called the Lower Dells and is very beautiful. Because large tour boats frequent the Lower Dells, paddlers must be prepared to deal with wakes. Other great scenery is seen and includes cliffs lining the shores, the Rocky Islands, sandy beaches, and common sightings of eagles, herons, turkey vultures, hawks, and turtles.
