- Rescheduled to Saturday May 31.

This is approximately three hours of paddling on a very popular Central Wisconsin River east/northeast of Wausau in the Ringle area.

It is an easy-to-moderate challenge through small riffles and rock gardens from the put-in on Club House Road to a really nice take-out on Ross Avenue in Weston. Water is generally shallow and clear, except after heavy rains. (It is unlikely this time of year, but if the water level rises too high for safety, we’ll notify everyone.)

We want to be on the water by noon, so be ready to shuttle at 11:30 a.m.

The put-in is a gravel parking area at the Eau Claire River crossing on Club House Road, Ringle. Directions: Hwy 29 E from Wausau to the Hwy J exit north, then right (east) on Schofield Ave/JJ/Ringle Ave for 3.9 miles, then left (north) on Club House Rd to the river. (Google Map does a good job of finding Club House Road, Ringle, WI, and showing the river crossing, if you like visuals.)

No dine out.

Note that there are no outhouses at the put-in. Bring water shoes, snacks, fluids and a life jacket. If you do not have a kayak and want to paddle, contact Sara Bredesen 715-360-7253 or Dean Julian 715-680-0490. We have loaners.

RSVP RSVP by Wednesday, May 28 to either Dean or Sara at the numbers above.
