We were able to put our boat in with no issues and spend the afternoon at the sand bars with tons of great friends north by the Interstate bridge. then had dinner on the lake at one of the many bars and restaurants that have water front docking.

Love the fleeting glimpses of the broad Wisconsin River as you cruise the winding highways and hills around Sauk City.

Whether you are fishing, canoeing, or want to camp out on a sandbar and relax, you cannot beat this wilderness river.

Eagle viewing especially during cold icy mid-winter superb below the Sauk Prairie Dam when open water becomes scarce and open water persists there. Great viewing at VFW Park/boat launch in Prairie du Sac or at the dam site half a mile upstream. If skiing at Devils Head or Cascade Mountain a 10 to 15 mile trip into Sauk City/Prairie du Sac can be well worth it for the eagle viewing or just the scenic beauty!

I love the river,but it's tricky, it Rises and falls quickly. If your an Experienced kyaker it's great but I wouldn't recommend for a novice due to the undercurrents.many people will camp on the sand outcrops but will find the island almost gone in the Morning. Beautiful but to be treated with respect
