Join us, as we provide a kayak camping weekend on High Falls Flowage - located just west of Crivitz, Wi. This flowage is about 1500 acres of pure northwoods magic. There are numerous small islands, coves, tributaries, rock formations, and wildlife which make this location a pleasure to explore.  There are only a handful number of man made structures surrounding this body of water - which enhances the sounds of nature.

We will be kayak camping on one of the island campsites for both Friday and Saturday nights (two sites have been reserved). This will be a small group experience, we will paddle as a group. Intermediate kayak skills required for this trip - this is not intended for an entry level paddler. No alcohol will be allowed on this trip.

 

Campsite description:

We will have one rather large island to ourselves - two campsites are present. At each campsite, there is a fire ring, picnic table, benches, and a privy. Kayaks can be either stored on the ground by the water, or placed up on the storage rack. This is a fairly wooded island - no trash cans (pack in/pack out) or potable water source present. We will filter the water, and also have a 5 gallon container for the group to use.
