Trip Overview

Started at Lime Kiln Park, Grafton, Wisconsin, ended at Villa Grove Park, Mequon, Wisconsin. We paddled approximately 8.75 miles in about two hours. It had rained recently so the river level was a bit higher, which was good since there are certain spots in this leg that would be easy to bottom out. Overall, the trip was very fun! Highly recommended for kayakers of any level. Wildlife such as blue heron, turtles, and fish were seen throughout. Cafe Hollander was a great post kayak meal. Small parking lot at both Parks.

Safety Notes

Easy to bottom out if it had not rained recently.

Conditions

Weather was clear and temperature was perfect.
