Name: Paddle and Camp on the Wisconsin River
Start: 2025-05-17T09:30:00-05:00
End: 2025-05-18T15:30:00-05:00

Join Jared and the Mad City Paddlers for a pleasant paddle down the **lower Wisconsin River**. We'll camp on a sandbar and enjoy some swimming, fishing, and general screwing around.

**On Saturday, we'll begin the car shuttle at 10am from the Otter Creek Landing** near Lone Rock. Be unloaded and ready to shuttle by that time. We'll shuttle cars to Muscoda (if necessary) and Port Andrew so we don't need to do any more shuttling until Sunday.

We'll paddle roughly 14 miles to the Muscoda area during the day on Saturday and camp on a sandbar nearby Saturday night. Pack a lunch for a lunch stop near or at the Gotham Landing.

On Sunday, we'll continue the last 9 miles until we reach the Port Andrew landing with a lunch stop on a sandbar. We'll then retrieve all shuttle vehicles before heading home.

You are welcome to join us for one or more days even if you aren't camping. Be ready to shuttle at Otter Creek by 10am Saturday or ready to paddle at the Victora Park landing in Muscoda by 10am on Sunday. We'll get you back to your car after the paddle on Sunday afternoon.

This paddle is suitable for beginners in any length boat, although longer boats are recommended. There are convenient rental options for this area, but people may have extra boats to lend. Post a comment if you need to borrow a kayak or don't mind joining someone in a spare spot in a canoe.

This will help get your head in the right place for bringing the right gear, being ready to share common gear, and avoid overpacking.
