Trip Report

ReporterBrian Tungate

5,600 cfs today Starting at 1000 Island Nature Center, ran the boney channel into the first main channel going river left of 1000 Islands. This channel has Infant Falls up towards the base of the dam. Perfect level to run the falls, 50 yards downstream was a great little sufing wave. Thinking about taking the stand up board back for this one. This entire channel below Infant Falls is great for beginners, couple eddies, a wave, ferrying, no consequence below.
Next main channel over (Hidden Channel) too much water for the Mystery Wave.
Eddy modification continues on river right in hopes of making wave attainment here more consistent. Alas, we were not shut out on surfing though. 20 yards downstream of the Mystery Wave was a super nice, fast wave- perfect for short playboats. Eddy service to boot, but washing off meant a carry back up.
Met an open boater from Appleton just finishing up his day when we got there.
Lake Winnebago gets drawn down in the fall. This lower section should keep running thru October. Great color, great place to explore, features somewhat limted, but definately still worth the effort.
