Our Mission at Silent Wake is to provide a safe, educational, and enjoyable process to learn how to kayak. We provide the means, you provide the desire. We are conveniently located between West Bend and Port Washington, Wi.
Real time upper Milwaukee river conditions below. Sections from West Bend down to Thiensville vary in depth, these values are gauged based on the shallowest areas - and personal experience/fun factor.
Try refreshing.
