River Description
A brief, scenic, entertaining dells section is the highlight of this reach.
While there is a "Rib Falls" some 15-20 miles downstream, the majority of the intervening river
is flatwater. At Rib Falls, the river drops abruptly about 4-5' over a scenic rock outcropping.
There is rock in the landing zone, so it is generally of little boating interest. Downstream, the
remainder of the river returns to a peaceful float through Wisconsin's heartland.
