Trip Report

ReporterRob Smage

As mentioned in the full write-up, at times of heavy rains, while there are no known outflow points on THIS section of river, the Menomonee is VERY LIKELY to suffer from Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) at times that this sections is runnable. It is recommended that you check the MMSD website *********** http://www.mmsd.com/v2/news/overflow\_advisory.cfm *********** for conditions before running this reach
when there have been heavy rains, then decide for yourself if you wish to risk boating in the (diluted) sewage affecting this river. Areas affected should generally be clear (of the bulk of that specific contamination) a couple days after the CSO ends. However, that will be to late to matter, as both these reaches (Honey and MenTosa) will generally have dropped to non-boatable levels by then.
