Leopold Canoe Adventure on the Wisconsin River
What better way to spend a summer Saturday?
On August 14, the Aldo Leopold Foundation will host a special canoe trip from just below the Dells Dam to the Pine Island Wildlife Area, with a tour and lunch stop at the historic Leopold Shack and Farm. Come paddle along the scenic Wisconsin River with us for the day!
We’ll start by paddling alongside the striking sandstone formations that made the Dells famous. As we float along, we’ll transition into a very different river landscape as we enter Aldo Leopold’s “sand counties.” We’ll stop for lunch and a tour at the Leopold Shack and Farm, and then paddle a bit further to our take-out point at Pine Island, for a total of about 11 river miles. This entire stretch of river is known for abundant wildlife. We may have a chance to see cranes, eagles, turtles, great blue herons, and more. Join us for a lovely day of canoeing the Wisconsin River! This trip is appropriate for all ages and experience levels. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
