Rock, E.Br.

A very short weir/dam exists in the Village of Theresa. It is possible that this could provide some entertainment at some flows (undetermined/unknown at present). However, more of the time (at moderate flows) it will be a short drop into a very uniform (difficult to escape) reversal! DO NOT TRY TO RUN OR PLAY THIS FEATURE WHEN REVERSAL IS PRESENT!

On the north side of the river (on Mayville Street), the village owns a lot with a utility building on it which is immediately downstream of this weir/dam. (Each side of that narrow property is private property. Respect the private property lines -- set foot only on the village/utility property!)

On the south side of the river (at the corner of W.Rock River Street and Wisconsin Street), the land inside the bend in the river is also marked as being owned by the village.

(Mostly a waypoint ... however, aerial views show possible increased interest downstream of here ... I.E. virtually no evidence of interest from Theresa to here.)

A dam on N.Main Street (State Highway 67+28) in Mayville has releasable gates (to the right 1/3rd) ramping short and spilling off high to fall onto shallow splashpan. The river-left (2/3rds) of the dam ramps steeply down to the splashpan. Water sheets across about 12 yards before encountering slightly deeper riverbottom.

It is remotely possible that (at some finite flows) there may be some whitewater play in currents in this area. A park on river-right allows parking and access, though the shore at the dam is steep quarried rock. Any location convenient to launch from may make attainment (of any playable feature which might occur here) a bit difficult. Much of the area is shallow, making scrapey conditions for good paddle strokes.

Downstream (from here to the Kekoskee Dam) appears as though it may have some areas of minor shoals, riffles and rips ... at least at some flows. There is 1 mile at 20 FPM, then a mile at 10 FPM, before things peter out into the backwaters of the Kekoskee dam.

A dam right at CTH.TW (Main Street in 'downtown' Kekoskee) drops about 5-6' onto shallow hardpan and sheets downstream. DO NOT RUN THIS DAM UNDER RISK OF DAMAGE TO BOAT AND BODY! At elevated flows, a wide and sweet-looking wave forms under the highway bridge.

River-left is all private residential property. River-right is D&D Pub Pizza, and is flanked by A Street (not just a street, but 'A' Street!), which heads to Valley Street and a village park.

To do this as a PnP (park-and-play), launch from this park and paddle upstream (if the current and your boating skills allow!). Keep to your left (along river-right shore). As you approach the area of the bridge, water becomes shallow and rocky/grassy/weedy. At low-to-moderate flows, this allows you to 'ape-walk'/muscle-up in your boat to reach the eddy under the bridge. Strong/experienced paddlers playing the wave should be able to come off in control, and should be able to ferry to either shore beneath the bridge for repeat play.

If flows are a bit high or if you fail to be in control coming off the wave, you will likely flush past a point of no return, and will have to once again 'muscle up' the river-right shore. At high flows, it may not be attainable, but then, at such flows you are likely to have trouble staying up under the bridge to repeat play on the wave.
