Wolf River Water Report In Langlade County
Click the links below to check the water levels and for more information on each segment of the Wolf River in Langlade County Wisconsin.
Section 2 - is from Hollister to the Highway 64 bridge at Langlade. This section is often paddled by beginners as the river offers a variety of Class I and II rapids with good surfing waves and countless currents. Section 3 - is considered south of the Highway 64 bridge. The river has stretches of several Class II+ (III) rapids and some long flatwater stretches. With most of the riverbank under state ownership (until the end of the run), you get the feeling of paddling in a wilderness setting. Section 4 - is the most challenging segment on the Wolf River. The character of the river changes from (generally) longer boulder-garden style rapids (upstream of the reservation and the upper/prior stretch in the reservation) to shorter but steeper drops in this section. In all cases, fairly long flatwater pools separate the main rapids. |
