Description

For the first time, Explore Wisconsin Rivers brings information about the state’s most significant rivers together in one book. Author Doris Green, with her husband Michael H. Knight, has written a volume that’s part guidebook, part reference and part travelogue. The first in Trails Books’ Explore series, this title goes beyond the boundaries of a typical travel guide to trace the natural and cultural paths of 17 Badger State rivers.

Special Instructions

From the 40-mile-long Montreal to the 430-mile Wisconsin, the authors explore the rich history, geography and people of the state’s stellar streams, including all of its boundary rivers. They provide many lesser known facts about the largely urban Milwaukee, the scenic St. Croix, the wild Wolf and more than a dozen other rivers along with their major tributaries. The authors travel along these streams by canoe, trail, car, train, and paddle wheeler, and they tell you where to watch sturgeon spawn, where to spot trumpeter swans, and how to find secluded waterfalls and riverside campsites.
